Hi Tim, TBH I'm not really up with Vagrant, although your comment has prompted me to do a little research... But please don't take this is any sort of authoritative answer! :)
Following my (somewhat brief) research I don't think that Vagrant is aiming to acheive the same ends as TKLDev. My understanding is that what Liraz is talking about is OS developers (that are already building an OS based on Debian) use TKLDev to build their OS. Whereas Vagrant is more aimed at allowing developers to create disposable development environments from an existing OS (for software level development rather than OS level development).
From my understanding and perspective a 'Vagrant box' is an OS with a specific set of packages installed and configurations set. I guess in that sense Vagrant and TKLDev are somewhat similar. Although I think in practice the resulting OS has a different intention/market. Vagrant is more aimed at developers wanting a consistent VM starting point, whereas TKLDev is more aimed at producing an end user OS.
Having said that, perhaps there is room for TurnKey to develop 'Vagrant box' builds of the current appliances too? I guess a TKL build more aimed at software developers rather than end users...!?
Vagrant...?!
