As an alternative to my other answer, I hereby provide my steps and configuration to get this provisioning scenario working with packer & puphpet.
Assuming the following to be in place:
./: a local directory acting as your own repository being./ops/: a directory ops inside which holds packer scripts and required files./ops/template.json: the packer template used to build the VM./ops/template.json expects the following is in place:
./ops/packer-templates/: a clone of this repo./ops/ubuntu-14.04.2-server-amd64.iso: the iso for the ubuntu you want to have running in your vm./puphpet: the output of walking through the configuration steps on puphpet.com (so this is one level up from ops)
The contents of template.json:

Narration of what happens:
- execute the basic provisioning of the VM using the scripts that are used to build puphpet boxes (first shell provisioner block)
- create a directory
/vagrant in the VM and set permissions for vagrant user
- upload local repository to
/vagrant (important as puphpet/puppet expects it to exist at that location in its scripts)
- remove some unneeded stuff from
/vagrant after upload
- start puppet provisioner with custom
execute_command and facter configuration
- process the remaining provisioning scripts. To be extended with exec once/always, start once/always files
Note: you might need to prepare some more things before the puppet provisioner kicks off. E.g. I need a directory in place that will be the docroot of a vhost in apache. Use shell provisioning to complete the template for your own puphpet configuration.
