Why not just choose one of the following two solutions:

1) Add a radio button in gnome-appearance-properties (ad said by
scholli) with the following options:
Window button placement:
- use theme default
- always on the left
- always on the right

I one of the latter two options is chosen then the theme default will
be overridden by the user's choice.

2) Ship two other themes, ambiance-right and radiance-right whose only
difference is the button placement.
Only a single text file (index.theme) needs to be added.

That will keep everybody happy.

(I know it is possible to customize a theme but that solution might
not be obvious to new users, as simply choosing a theme).
