@whikloj suggested adding this, in the discussion for issue #21

There is also the possibility of:

  1. Replace apt-get with apt-get -d to download source into the downloads directory.
  2. Use dpkg -i to install the packages from the downloads directory.
    This would extend the download once, install many idea. Just not sure how it would handle dependencies.

but we might also want to look at vagrant plugins like https://github.com/fgrehm/vagrant-cachier

Using a base box gets rid of most of the pain of vm rebuilds for most people, so I'm happy to call this solved.
