After I run the script, and then do a fink update-all, fink wants to install apt, bzip2-dev, gettext-dev, libiconv-dev, ncurses-dev.
I wonder if there's some leakage of the Essential property? I know this has been discussed here before, but IIRC splitoffs do not inherit this flag in the database and this is the desired behavior but some underlying process was possibly not obeying this?
Fink selfupdate does this on purpose (not sure if it's a good idea). From Selfupdate.pm in sub finish:
# add some non-essential but important ones
push @elist, qw(apt apt-shlibs storable-pm bzip2-dev gettext-dev gettext-bin libiconv-dev ncurses-dev);
