For VirtualBox sda is a pretty safe bet, for libvirt it'd be either sda
or vda (and I think we could set both in debconf, as that's a
multiselect). AWS has another one, vxda I think? But this explicit bug
is about vagrant (so virtualbox and libvirt) only anyways.
The only thing to consider with this approach: it should only be done
when preparing images, not installing "real" systems. So in the
cloud.d.o context that's safe, but probably not as a generic default in
FAI and other tools.
