There wasn't really a choice; I intended to install it "properly" (not in
/opt) and bring the ruby dependencies over to [community] with it, but
while testing the package in the AUR I found this was the only way to
package Vagrant so that it would work with plugins like
vagrant-{login,share} and the vmware plugin. So it's more of an upstream
decision to package it this way. iirc the deb and rpm packages install the
same way.
