I agree with David Lowe, that wrote about rethinking the stable/
unstable situation. Unlike some, I _do_ use FinkCommander and the
underlying Fink structure for stable vs. unstable packages becomes
even messier through the GUI. Once you enable unstable, then you
have a mish-mash of both stable and unstable packages listed and it
makes it very confusing to select items.
Truthfully, I also have an Ubuntu box, and use Synaptic. And while
the Synaptic interface is a bit cleaner than FC, it has the same
issue with enabling repositories that are not "official" Ubuntu, as
you then get a mish-mash displayed.
I'm not sure what the answer should be. I just know the current
handling of it isn't the answer.

but the qualities he is required to display are not those of
leadership but those of finely judged outrage....His job is not to
wield power but to draw attention away from it."

How do you feel the rest of the community would benefit from your
