I'm sorry to hear that.

What is the best way to find what is needed to help package Vagrant?
Should one `debdiff` the package to find what is different with
Debian's version and try and Debianize the package that way? Do you
have a handy list of the steps you take to update a package for
Vagrant so I might be able to see if there is something I might help
with?

Cheers,
