Thanks for letting us know, and testing/fixing! Debian has upgraded  
their package and apparently doesn't keep their old deb-specific  
patchfiles available. And their now-current one does not differ in any  
relevant way from the old one either (it cherry-picks upstream patches  
against their older version whereas we use a newer upstream version 
that  is already patched). I committed the update to the new deb 
patchfile  just to keep downloading easy. 

You might want to check your fink's MasterMirrors setting ('fink 
config') or experiment with other mirrors when fink cannot download the 
needed source file. The  master mirror pool (run by fink) does maintain 
*forever* copies of other hosts'  sources that fink uses, so you can 
still get it even when, for example,  debian itself no longer carries 
it.
