The versions of Vagrant which are currently in Debian are not suitable
for building Tails using Vagrant. The version in Wheezy is too old and
the version in Jessie/Sid is too new. The build page advises to install
Vagrant from Jessie but this cannot work.
A working Vagrant can be installed from snapshot.d.o. Perhaps the
attached patch against master would be a decent way to address this
problem until either Tails' vagrant setup is updated (or replaced?).
