Hi Sushi,

I'm currently doing something similar here:
https://github.com/tknerr/dev-box/

It's an Ubuntu Desktop VM intended for infrastructure development with
Chef, Vagrant, etc.. You might find something re-usable for other VMs
too.

Concerning the distribution I will probably use packer.io to create a
VirtualBox image.

I think it's perfectly fine to distribute the Vagrantfile, but in my
case it has additional dependencies (like vagrant-omnibus,
vagrant-berkshelf and ChefDK (for the berks executable)) that need to
be installed on the user's VM. Having both Vagrantfile + pre-baked VM
makes it more convenient for the user.

However, when distributing a pre-baked VM you should have an in-VM
update mechanism (e.g. git pull && run chef-solo)

HTH,
Torben
