The post-install boot succeeds during the Packer build, including processing provisioning scripts via SSH. However, when the resulting box is instantiated with vagrant up, then that never forms an SSH connection. VirtualBox shows a boot error:

Theories for resolving boot error:

The remaining boot errors complain about an inability to find the root file system. Screenshot:

SSH is presenting a local version string, but no prompt. The connection later times out.

Applying preseed.cfg parameters to disable LVM and UUID mounts:

d-i partman-auto/method string regular
d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select atomic
d-i partman-partitioning/confirm_write_new_label boolean true
d-i partman/choose_partition select finish
d-i partman/confirm boolean true
d-i partman/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true
d-i partman/mount_style select traditional

However, the installation now fails with:

base-installer: error: exiting on error base-installer/debootstrap-failed
main-menu[203]: WARNING **: Configuring 'bootstrap-base' failed with error code 30

Meh, this is sid. Wait at least one day and retry.
