This in fact is really what I was hoping for. But since there was no indication
whether to expect success or failure with a combination it was intimidating.

I still wish for kernel + image packs. Newbie, do this:
 * tar xzf uml-nagafix-deb-sarge-1.0.tar.gz
 * ./uml-nagafix-deb-sarge-1.0/run.sh

If you give someone a dead easy entry point like this it encourages adoption.

Once someone has that first console up then they will tinker with the
parameters, setting up tap devices, etc. and quickly become more confident and
comfortable because it is faster and easier to modify an existing system than
to start from zero.
The run script would be an ideal place to mention the capabilities and provide
some config recipes for the most commonly used capabilities.
