Is there a better way to do this?

Hi,

There is a point in the "vagrant up" process that is exactly what I would like to keep as a vanilla box for future tests. 

Can "vagrant package" be called inside of a Vagrantfile?   Bad idea?

You might want to try packer: http://www.packer.io/ for the vanilla box and then layer the rest of the provisioning with vagrant.

If that doesn't jive, I'd be happy to brainstorm more ideas :)

Are you asking if you can install vagrant inside of vagrant? As in
double virtualization?

At worst, this is impossible and at best, performance will be horrible.

What *exactly* are you trying to accomplish? Please provide more
details, as your initial email was somewhat unclear.

I agree.  Packer is best suited for this.  Thanks for the pointer.
