What is exactly your use case for 32 bits Vagrant boxes ? We currently build 7 Vagrant build images (3 VirtualBox, 2 LXC, 2 Libvirt) all of them 64 bits. Adding 32 bits on top would be bit a bit of work, especially since not that much of the build process for new releases is automated. I see everyday more software dropping 32 bits support (RHEL 7, MongoDB, Proxmox PVE all require 64 bit hardware) so I am not that much looking forward having extra work which will be deprecated in two years. If the issue is important to you, open a bug on the debian-cloud pseudo package in the BTS with the wishlist priority so the issue is properly tracked. Emmanuel
