I guess I was planning to prompt the user for whatever additions he/she wants, during the "fink configure" dialog.
I think that this would be a perfect use of debconf. We can have a non-user editable section, which debconf could parse, and a section below that where debconf would preserve all the things there. Example:
#### Automatically Generated By Defconf. DO NOT EDIT ####
deb http://www.foo.com/ foo/bar ...
#### Insert Local Entries Below ####
deb ftp://my.unofficial-bindist.net/cause i/can
#### EOF ####
There could be checkboxes for the mirrors to use, etc. Debconf has many interfaces, including text, readline, dialog, and gtk (or even none, and the defaults are used w/o asking). We could even make a cocoa interface to work with FinkCommander. :)
