Issue Summary
If you want to add your own submit button besides "Preview" and "Submit" in node-types form, you normally think you will form_alter and add your button with let's say a weight of 1000 so it sinks. But no, node.module uses theme_node_form() to custom theme this form, so _whatever_ you do, it will render your buttons somewhere that you can't control using weights.

This is a a simple solution to for this simple problem. Very similar to this snipper which is already in node_filter_form():
$form['filters']['buttons']['submit'] = array('#type' => 'submit', '#value' => (count($session) ? t('Refine') : t('Filter')));if (count($session)) {
$form['filters']['buttons']['undo'] = array('#type' => 'submit', '#value' => t('Undo'));
$form['filters']['buttons']['reset'] = array('#type' => 'submit', '#value' => t('Reset'));
}
...
..
$output .= '<div class="container-inline" id="node-admin-buttons">'. drupal_render($form['buttons']) .'</div>';

I wish I had looked here before redoing this patch. Anyway, here is a refreshed version. Works as advertised.

Simple, straightforward, and with previous practice, so committed.

Was this mod only applied to 6.x?

It would break backward compatibility on the form, so no way to apply it to 5.x IMHO.
