Not sure what can be done about that with the current layout.

1 click to the documentation index, one to the desired version, and
one to the tutorial section. It's only a difference of 1, but I don't
think we can put everything on the front page.

There is a bold 'Download' link, directly under the list of current
versions. Because we have different types of packages for different
platforms for each version, there's no easy way to do per-version
links to 'source/packages' - doing so would lead to horrendous clutter
(believe me, I've tried). Instead, the download link (as well as the
one on the top level navigation menu) links to the carefully
thought-out downloads page which guides people to exactly what they
need.
