The box file I provided is what we expect to become the cloud image; it
is directly comparable. :)

It wasn't built another way, but it was built to contain more useful
packages.

We're happy to make Vagrant-specific changes to the Vagrant image, so we
can change this in the filesystem.

You can find the changes Louis has proposed at [0], which also includes
how he tested his changes.  (The images on cloud-images.ubuntu.com are
produced using Launchpad's buildds; all of the software that is used is
open-source, but for security reasons access to the build farm is
restricted to Canonical employees; the image provided above was built
using the buildds.)
