I believe you're the first person who tries to use our Vagrant basebox
inside VirtualBox, which effectively means setting up
nested VirtualBox.

We obviously can't pretend we support things we've never tried
ourselves, but once someone makes it work, I don't see why we would
call it unsupported. So, it probably only needs someone who makes it
work and maintains it. Given you're the first potential user of this
setup that we hear about, this someone would probably be you :)

But... is nested virtualization supported by VirtualBox at all?

As documented [1] "you need a running Debian Squeeze system" (and
then, live-build 2.x, while your failed build log indicates you're
trying to build with live-build 3.x, which is WIP [2]).

See above. Help is welcome for the migration to live-build 3.x.

Cheers!
