Indeed. yelp is not available for xubuntu, and it isn't (and shouldn't be) a dependency either.

The help button should not be displayed if help is not available, that needs to be fixed upstream.

Fixed in bzr head.

This bug was fixed in the package jockey - 0.2-0ubuntu1

---------------
jockey (0.2-0ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * New upstream bug fix release:
    - Do not create default handlers for nonexisting kernel modules.
      (LP: #187148)
    - Suppress exceptions (like SIGPIPE) in logging. (LP: #188658)
    - Enable UseEdidFreqs for legacy NVidia driver. (LP: #151141)
    - Set proper window icon. (LP: #187073)
    - Clean up strings in .desktop files (LP: #150205)
    - Fix test suite exit code on success.
    - Do not set AddARGB{,GLX}Visuals options in standard and new nVidia
      handler any more (obsolete).
    - Support hiding of help button if help is not available.
  * tests/oslib.py: Add simple tests for Ubuntu implementation of package
    system query functions.
  * jockey/oslib.py, package_description(): Do not crash when apt-cache show
    succeeds, but prints nothing. This works around apt bug #18306.
    (LP: #186943)
  * tests/oslib.py: Add shallow test cases for {install,remove}_packge() to
    ensure that they won't crash for the simplest reasons. This reproduces
    #186584.
  * jockey/oslib.py: Add missing import of time. (LP: #186584, #186883)
  * jockey/oslib.py, ui_help_available(): Only show help if yelp is present.
    (LP: #186179)
  * debian/rules: Run test suite during build (failure causes FTBFS).
