Bug Description
If the software center is launched because the user clicked to install a deb package, it is not needed to load the welcome screen for the software-center. It takes extra time, and is confusing - (where is my deb package?)
Then after the front page loads, the deb page appears and the install option is there...
What I would propose is that software-center detects if it is launched with the deb option, and if so.. don't load the front screen, load a template of the view that will appear to install the deb. That will give the application a snappy response and wont be confusing.

Hi jr, and thank you for your report. Indeed, this is a good idea and is one that we have considered in our ongoing work to improve the performance and responsiveness of Ubuntu Software Center. It's good to have this as a bug so that we can track your idea. I will set it as wishlist and give it the appropriate tags.
Thank you for your help!
