I think so. If I type "fink selfupdate" I get the follow message (after a bunch of other stuff): You already have the package descriptions from the latest Fink point release.

Well, it is a 1 Mb tar.gz file. If I unzip it I get a folder with 34 items in it including the usual makefiles, README file, src, and lib folders. Looks like the right thing although it may be out of date (it appears to be from 1999).
