Source bootstrapping is possible with a single line change

(i.e. change packages/debianutils-1-15-4.info to point to 
prdownloads.sourceforge.net/fink instead of debian.org.) The problem is 
Debian removed the 1.15.4 sources for debianutils.  Once you respecify 
it to come from fink instead, a source bootstrap (i.e. ./bootstrap.sh 
/sw) works.
