Comment 6 for bug 1565985

From my tests, the image available on vagrant main source is the exact copy
of ubuntu repo one, which is a basic cloud image in virtualbox format with
no changes whatsoever for vagrant.

What is missing is not just the guest additions, but also the default user
to be vagrant with password vagrant and the ssh key stored to be the
default for vagrant.

Currently, vagrant makes an educated guess, and tries to launch with ubuntu
user (which works and allow us to fix those issues manually).

Not the ideal situation when people want to promote the newest version of
ubuntu.

Cheers,
LF
