I see - so is it common for people to use "local" Fink info 
files in these situations, clobbering Apple stuff if desired, 
but not submitting them to the Fink tracker?

In some situations people have no choice but to clobber at least 
some small part of Apple's stuff (fixing broken things, for 
example), and it seems like fink could play a role here in 
helping us keep track of what's been done, and automating the 
process.
