The base bento/ubuntu-14.04 box is 517MB.

When I export my box (which is almost exactly the basic provisioned box) the size is... 2271MB :cry:

Possible steps to take

[ ] ~~Don't install recommended packages with apt-get~~ (probably not worth the effort)
[ ] Remove build-time dependencies for Consular (and other python packages).
[ ] Check what packages the bento base image installs and check if those can be removed.
[ ] Remove packages after building GuestAdditions kernel module.
[ ] Use the Bento cleanup and minimization scripts.
[ ] Investigate debootstrap

An almost completely freshly provisioned and then boxed VM as of 083fd93 is ~1750MB
