Just a short notice to confirm that we (I'm Stéphane's supervisor) we
able to create a working Vagrant box using the development branch of
bootstrap-vz to build a Jessie image on an amd64 jessie host.
The box is reused as a base box to add postgresql, apache, php, etc.
It even works alright on Windows 7 ;-)
As both the host and target are jessie, the dkms issue doesn't pop up,
but this is indeed problematic when host and target kernels mismatch,
AFAICS.
Keep up the good work.
Best regards,
