There are a couple of relatively minor hiccups:

1)  You would have to use “fink selfupdate” twice:  once to update fink, and 
once to download the 10.9-libcxx package descriptions.
2)  The locally-build .deb collection gets orphaned (downloaded .debs from the 
bindist remain accessible), so we would need to handle that.  
Since changing distributions for an OS X version has been a rare occurrence, 
with only   10.2 -> 10.2-gcc3.3 and 10.4-transitional -> 10.4 before now, and 
because package rebuilds aren’t required for this transition, my thought was 
that we could just provide a run-once-manually helper script to move the .debs 
to the right place, reconstitute the /sw/fink/debs symlinks, and do a 
scanpackages to regenerate the local Packages.gz for apt. 

Any thoughts?  

If there are no objections, I’d like to switch the master fink branch on github 
over to using this tree in preparation for the 10.11 release.
