True Ben, but I meant to point out that it is not possible to combine the primary site (and secondary sites) together with a fink mirror list, within a CustomMirror field like this:

Source: mirror:custom:%n_%v.tar.gz
CustomMirror: <<
Primary: http://www.linux.it/~md/software/
mirror: debian:/debian/pool/main/w/%n/
<<

:)

You could just ignore the main site altogether and use "Source: mirror:debian:/debian/pool/main/w/%n/%n_%v.tar.gz" instead of the long custommirror list. Of course you wouldn't get the latest version of whois until debian updates their mirrors, I suppose it's up to you (Brian).

I poked around a bit inside of /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Mirror.pm. I can imagine around line 111 some new code might go in to allow such a feature but I have no experience writing perl :(.

Here Google reveals that Debian is mirroring whois, http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/w/whois/whois_4.6.0.tar.gz so it could be added as an alternate CustomMirror:
Er, no. :)  mirror:debian was added not too long ago.
