[DRE-maint] backporting vagrant to jessie

Hey all,

Thanks for packaging vagrant and all that ruby stuff! I have gotten
vagrant working to set up nested QEMU-KVM instances, so that we can run
tests that set up a QEMU-KVM guest in jenkins.debian.net, which itself
is a QEMU-KVM guest instance.  I have this all working well in stretch,
but jessie does not have vagrant-libvirt, so its a showstopper.

I have already backported everything that vagrant-libvirt needs on my
machine.  I tried backporting vagrant itself, and got an error that
seems beyond me.  I don't know ruby at all.

# dpkg -i vagrant_1.8.5+dfsg-2_all.deb

Any advice on how to proceed?
