added ubuntu-13.10 packer templates w/debian sudoers scripts

[routelastresort]

I pointed this to "scripts/debian/sudoers.sh", and put the boxes through basic tests. VMware needs some HGFS kernel love (as I believe is mentioned on tickets.opscode), but this fixes the sudo issue, and I can su up to root w/o a password as expected.

VMware:
The HGFS kernel module was not found on the running virtual machine.
This must be installed for shared folders to work properly. Please
install the VMware tools within the guest and try again. Note that
the VMware tools installation will succeed even if HGFS fails
to properly install. Carefully read the output of the VMware tools
installation to verify the HGFS kernel modules were installed properly.

The boxes build successfully (when using VMWare 6) but there is no Omnibus package for 13.10 yet so I can't test the builds fully. Once the 13.10 package is released for Omnibus and we can test we can merge this in.

Is that code all publicly-facing in omnibus-chef?

Looks like CHEF-4660 was closed with Ubuntu 13.10 omnibus support in Chef 11.8.0 release. It uses 13.04 package seemingly without issue. I've built the PR via Packer and Virtualbox 4.3.2 along with testing via Chef 11.8.0 omnibus installer and a fairly hefty Chef run list.

Is there anything else that needs to be confirmed/tested here?

@bflad looks good to me, and I checked that @routelastresort has signed our CLA, so I'll merge this now.

Out of curiosity since there's been a bunch of new boxes coming into the repo, when do they get uploaded to S3? Wasn't sure if there's a release cycle for these. Thanks!

[juliandunn]

@bflad There's not currently a defined release cycle, though I'm going to try and rebuild & upload the major ones before Community Summit, and @tduffield and I will discuss how regularly to build them. Couple of things we need to address :--

• Versioning of boxes
• Changing pathnames now that we build both boxes for VMWare and Virtualbox (so the old "/vagrant" pathname in S3 doesn't add up anymore)
• Changing all the .kitchen.ymls in community cookbooks
• CI system so that we don't have to build these manually

If you're coming to Community Summit next week in Seattle, I'd love to discuss these topics with you!
