  Description     : A Vagrant plugin to install Puppet modules using Librarian-Puppet

vagrant-librarian-puppet is a plugin for Vagrant that will automatically
run librarian-puppet before any provisioning step. It looks for a
Puppetfile in the configured directory and uses that file with
librarian-puppet.

More details:
 - This plugin automates management of module dependencies when testing
   puppet modules, or simply when maintaining your local test VM for
   day-to-day puppet development. I removes the need to remember to
   install new modules with librarian-puppet after having pulled in
   other people's changes on the Puppetfile.
 - It is not a dependency for another package
 - I so far use it for testing individual puppet modules that I
   maintain, and to make it easier to test changes before committing.  I
   also intend to use it at work to reduce friction around keeping
   modules up to date in the local dev VMs.
 - I don't know of another package that provides such functionality.
   It's also the only vagrant plugin that I know can help automate this.
 - Since I'm not a DD or a DM, I am planning on asking a friend who is
   a Debian Developer to help me out with shaping the package so that
   it's acceptable for debian. I would then intend to ask the ruby
   packaging team if they are willing to make this one of the team
   packages and I would continue maintaining it through the team.
