Um, fink *is* straightened out for Lion. As you said yourself, there 
are clear instructions--I'm not sure how it's fink-developers' role to 
fix you not following them. There is no supported way around "redo from 
scratch to work on 10.7". We spent a few months trying to get that 
approach to work, and it was always harder and more fragile (and 
ultimately took longer) than just redoing from scratch anyway. There 
are ways to ask your old fink what packages were installed, then you 
nuke it and start afresh and can install the 10.7 flavors of those 
packages.
