I looked into this a bit more. These feature weren't added to vagrant-libvirt until 0.4.0, so no stable Debian package of vagrant-libvirt could support this yet. Debian/testing has 0.7.0, and a backport to stable would be possible. I guess a lot of people just use `vagrant plugin install ...`. It might be possible to make it work with older vagrant-libvirt versions by using a hack like this:

There is a little more info here:

```
ENV['VAGRANT_EXPERIMENTAL'] = 'typed_triggers'

require 'open3'

Vagrant.configure('2') do |config|
  ...
  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |lv, config|
lv.storage :file, :size => '3G', :device => 'sda', :bus => 'scsi', :discard => 'unmap', :cache => 'unsafe' config.trigger.before :'VagrantPlugins::ProviderLibvirt::Action::StartDomain', type: :action do |trigger|
      trigger.ruby do |env, machine|
        stdout, stderr, status = Open3.capture3(
          'virt-xml', machine.id,
          '--edit', 'type=scsi',
          '--controller', 'model=virtio-scsi')
        if status.exitstatus != 0
raise "failed to run virt-xml to modify the controller model. status=#{status.exitstatus} stdout=#{stdout} stderr=#{stderr}"
        end
      end
    end
    ...
  end
end
```
