1) Per the recent thread on fink-devel, i agree that the whole stable/ unstable thing needs to be rethought. At the very least, choosing which tree to point at should handled via 'fink configure' rather than making the user kludge internal files. Additionally, i like the idea of turning unstable on by default. 2) It should be easier to find desired packages. Ubuntu Linux's frontend allows a database search of not only package names, but descriptions as well. I find this eminently useful. 3) If we can get a maintainer to update/rewrite Fink Commander, then i would hold up Ubuntu's 'synaptic' tool as a model GUI. This is absolutely the best package manager i've ever seen - i like it better than OS X's Software Update. And it's already built around debian!
