To expand on Alexander's answer just a little bit, when I'm making a fink
package I go through exactly the first steps you describe: let fink try,
look at the state of things after it fails, and figure out how to fix it.

But after that, I unpack a fresh copy of the tarball and edit what needs
to be edited.  The I rename the edited, unpacked copy, and unpack a fresh
copy again.  Run "diff" to create the patch file that will be used in
the next fink run, put that patch file in the correct place, add the "Patch"
line to the .info file, and I'm good to go.
