Sorry but this won't be possible at the moment.

Also note that virtualbox seems to not be supportable in Debian
(#794466). I personally have not been using virtualbox for a long time,
and that is why I uploaded and maintain the vagrant-lxc and
vagrant-libvirt providers, which work well enough for me.

So unless someone else steps up to work on such a backport, it is not
happening.
