[Bug 2054608] [NEW] License change and unmaintanability

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Hashicorp (the company behind Vagrant) adopted the BSL:

https://ir.hashicorp.com/news-releases/news-release-details/hashicorp-
adopts-business-source-license-future-releases-its

Due to that, this package is unmaintained in Debian for a year. There is
some discussion about this in this Debian bug:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1049999

I talked to the Debian maintainer and he said that it is in his TODO
list to remove vagrant and related packages from Debian.

Moreover, it currently FTBFS with ruby3.2 (which will be the default in
Noble). I tried to patch it to make it work but it is not easy, we would
need to move to a newer version. But then the license issue raised above
comes up.

In order to unblock the ruby 3.2 transition we would need to remove
vagrant and all related packages, they are:

$ reverse-depends -r noble src:vagrant
Reverse-Depends
===============
* python3-vagrant               (for vagrant)
* vagrant-librarian-puppet      (for vagrant)
* vagrant-libvirt               (for vagrant)
* vagrant-lxc                   (for vagrant)
* vagrant-mutate                (for vagrant)
* vagrant-sshfs                 (for vagrant)

Packages without architectures listed are reverse-dependencies in: amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x
$ reverse-depends -r noble src:vagrant -a source
Reverse-Testsuite-Triggers
==========================
* vagrant-bindfs                (for vagrant)
