Jep, I think he did. :)

vagrant@debian-jessie:~$ ls /vagrant/
Vagrantfile

Shared folder seems also ok and per default the network for the box is
behind a NAT.

I think you will use your upload scripts, so I have to remove the atlas
plugin for packer. Additional port the changes to the other versions
(wheezy, contrib, testing) and made some additional tests. Then it
should be fine as first version for the debian-vm-templates repo.

One problem is the big duplication of the code, so probably it's better
to extent the packer-virtualbox-vagrant to a general packer file for all
providers (virtualbox, libvirt, ...). I can create the packer file, but
the Makefiles and perl script must be also customized and these are not
my skilled languages.

Best Regards
 Martin
