I'm still not quite clear what update you have in mind. Perhaps the most
reasonable action would be to update the existing basebox with apt-get
update && apt-get dist-upgrade. Alternatively, do we just want to add those
keys into the basebox? Once we have updated the basebox do we need to run
any clean up commands? Perhaps just reading some Vagrant documentation
would help.

At least with this hack, I could probably do it in 10 to 15 mins. The other
activities would require me getting my hands a bit dirtier. Of course, may
there's someone else with more familiarity, who could save the day :).
