Thanks, Alvaro. I see that the procedure at http://hadooppowered.com/2014/05/10/create-a-debian-wheezy-vagrant-box/ removes the guest additions during the cleanup process.
I know that the purpose of the cleanup is to minimize the size of the box, but is there ANY legitimate reason to remove the guest additions? I know that guest additions are what allow projects you create in the virtual environment to automatically be synced to a folder in the host system, but I didn't realize that the guest additions are what allow the automatic login to work when one enters "vagrant up". If removing guest additions means disabling file syncing and the automatic login process when one enters "vagrant up", then what's the point of having Vagrant in the first place? One might as well just work with VirtualBox directly and skip Vagrant.
