Yeah, it's confusing. Probably the easiest thing to check is is whether you can manually uninstall the older-versioned packages--use "fink remove" rather than "apt-get remove". If nothing depends on them they'll be uninstalled, and if something still depends on them they'll stick around.
I believe this was an artifact--postgresql was at 7.2.x, and some other package needed 7.3.x, so postgresql73 was created. It was then decided to have the postgresql package be for 7.3.x, but there are packages that still depend on postgresql73-shlibs and postgresql73-dev, so these were kept around--they are splitoffs of postgresql now.
