I've come up with a patch that does this. I've been testing the
patch locally, but have not tested it extensively. I'll test it with
larger dependency chains later, when I get access to better connectivity.
Known issues: it is not controllable by a switch (command line or
otherwise). The plan is to not have this on by default, but use
a switch of some sort to enable it. I'm open to suggestions on how
best to toggle this. Also, it does not run apt-get update from
fink index, so you'll need to do that seperately. It should update
apt-get's notion of reality.
I just tested this on larger sets, and it fails miserably. I have some ideas on how to fix it though, so stay tuned. Any helpful comments/code would be appreciated. ;-)
Here comes another version of the patch (rev. 6). It now does check for md5 checksums after the .deb is downloaded and also offers the chance to try to download it again.
Remaining issues:

Rob: I am not sure what you mean by that. But i definitely didn't work on it yet. Could you explain a bit more?
Also: I think the line 'Fink::Package->update_aptdb();' in Package.pm should probably only be called if UseBinaryDist is enabled. But i am not sure here.
Please: If any of the more experienced fink developers could have a look at the code that would be very nice!
Thanks, Chris.
