Christian,
While I agree that it is unfortunate that vino tries to speak to an external website to verify if vnc is properly available, there is currently no plan to apply these changes to other releases than Oneiric.
Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates if you would like to propose an SRU.
You can also see the comments above for workarounds.
