Thanks Serge. That's basically the workaround I've applied to get things up and running and it works, but is not optimal. What I'm hoping for (crossing my fingers) is that the maintainer might be able to apply a patch to the Lucid package to address virtual machine creation with the wizard. Considering this is a key feature, seems like a reasonable thing to do rather to hold off until Maverick.
