For ubuntu/debian as host and guests you can use (or build an graphical interface) around vmbuilder (https://launchpad.net/vmbuilder). It supports several hypervisors (including virtualbox), you can add packages, users, network configuration, disks/partitions directly from the command line. For windows host and guests, maybe vmlite (http://www.vmlite.com/ - i haven't tried this, just looked into their website).
