It gets you the .info files for both, and which version you can install depends on whether you have unstable turned on in /sw/etc/fink.conf. The unstable version usually does get installed if you have it on, because it generally has a higher version number, but you can install packages by number, e.g. 'fink install foo-3.4.5-6', to install out of the stable tree. The catch is that you have to do some mucking around to figure out which versions are where.
The Fink Commander GUI (http://finkcomannder.sourceforge.net/) has an option to display the latest stable version of a package, and lets you do binary installations as well as installs from source.
