Bug Description

Vagrant wants Virtualbox 4.X, but the only one available in repositories is 5.0.

```
% vagrant up --provider=virtualbox
The provider 'virtualbox' that was requested to back the machine
'default' is reporting that it isn't usable on this system. The
reason is shown below:

Vagrant has detected that you have a version of VirtualBox installed
that is not supported. Please install one of the supported versions
listed below to use Vagrant:

4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3
```

```
% LC_ALL=C apt-cache policy virtualbox
virtualbox:
  Installed: 5.0.0-dfsg-1
  Candidate: 5.0.0-dfsg-1
  Version table:
 *** 5.0.0-dfsg-1 0

The latest version of Vagrant (1.8.1) supports VirtualBox 5.X
Vagrant package upgrade to version >=1.8.1 would be appreciated.
