That's not even a little bit Vagrant's fault - that's 100% Ubuntu nonsense, the sort of thing that convinced me about a decade ago never to install Ubuntu again. Sure, running Debian means if you want the latest and greatest you might have to build it yourself. But it's also much less likely to hose you for stupid reasons. I'm glad to see that the state of play has improved so much in the intervening years!
I'm also a Debian fanboy (been my preferred distro since "potatoe" days) but I had to switch to Ubuntu for the first time for this current project. It's not all bad but I'll return to the warm embrace of Debian for my next project.
