Funny you mention it... We've been discussing this dialog on the mailing
list for the last couple of days. The thread is here:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/packagekit/2009-April/004720.html
subject "This dialog sucks".

I think it's a valid use case to copy the fingerprint, so if you could
file a bug under the gnome-packagekit component I'll use it to track
pending issues. Thanks.

Richard.
