Here's a debdiff for precise (I've not uploaded yet because we are in soft-freeze for Alpha 1).

It hides the help button. There is no corresponding help in GNOME 3.2 for this dialog, so makes no sense to have the button.

I've uploaded an oneiric version of this debdiff to oneiric-proposed. I think this is a worthwhile SRU because it is a very user-visible wart that didn't exist in natty. There's still the regression of no user help for the dialog in oneiric, but that's not fixable. At least we can make it look intentional instead of a broken system.
