I don't know what I should report back on, seeing as I don't use the
tool-bar myself, but I have added a screenshot in case it might help
anyone else evaluate the change.

The only comment I can make on the UX is that I find it surprising that
the icons disappear in the *Help* buffer describing the package, but I
get that adding them in the right place and the right time is tricky...
It is just that the idea of invoking `package-browse-url' by selecting
the right line in the package-list buffer (without opening the *Help*
buffer), and then selecting the button in the tool-bar is not an
interaction that seems intuitive to me.
