Isn't the answers on question 5.8 in the FAQ a little vague:
Q5.8: There's this package in unstable that I want to install, but the fink command just says 'no package found'. How can I install it?
If you just want a few packages the way to do it is
1. Copy the *.info and *.patch files from their location in the unstable hierarchy to the corresponding location in the stable hierarchy
2. Run fink index
3. Install
IMHO, the FAQ is far to complicated when it describes this process. Feel free to use or be inspired by the steps above if you like to modify the answer to that question.
