Regardless of where a SourceN tarball is found, it expands (or at
least is documented to expand) to a well-defined location. So I guess
the problem is what happens for a Source(N) that is not of a
recognized complression/archive scheme. Ideally (IMO), such a file
should be treated as if it were already expanded. That is, it should
be simply copied to %p/src/%f (and further into SourceNExtractDir if
specified). What *actually* happens...dunno.  Maybe the simplest
solution (assuming fink doesn't do that) would be to convert your
plain file into a tarball and then let fink expand it, placing your
file in a predictable location.
