There's a one-liner (or may few-liner) idea for it on the fink wiki.
Executive summary: copy it to stable and try to 'fink rebuild' it,
using command-line flags that hide the unstable tree and all installed
packages so you only see the stable .info collection. If fink doesn't
bomb due to missing dependencies, all deps are in stable.

Very true. Generally nothing should ever be "newer" in a stable branch
than in a development branch, and *definitely* should not lower the %r
because that would mean recycling that %r for a package that isn't the
same as last time you used it (violates the Prime Directive).
