I think it's important to provide a better way into Ubuntu development,
which is why I'd like to raise the importance.

The question is: what do we want? My thinking is that a guide that tries
to explain a lot in a short time might be hard to understand and
depending on the use-case not really useful. A cheatsheet would be nice.
What would it contain though?

Would it help to abuse the landing page as this cheatsheet and try for
us to make that page more inviting/useful?

Title:
  Need a Quick Start Guide

Status in Ubuntu Packaging Guide:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  As Steve Langasek, Scott Kitterman and others point out, e.g.:

  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2011-June/033401.html

  we really need a Quick Start Guide and/or cheat sheet so that people
  who generally understand what's going on can have a very short
  document to refer to in their daily activities.  As Steve says:

  "The "quick start guide" should be the *first* place we direct new
  developers, with "would you like to know more?" links available for
  them to drill down into; and if more documentation needs to be added,
  it should be added on the individual detail pages."
