Fink seems to provide a consistent command-line interface, whereas the regular Debian tools are scattered over several programs (dpkg, apt-get, apt-cache, dpkg-buildpackage etc.)

If you want to check out the next generation, I suggest taking a look at conary[1], which blends rpm/apt and arch. It got developped by some of the original RPM authors and looks quite promising, but I never evaluated it myself. I atleast am more interested in finishing the package manager first before worrying about fancy front-ends; might take a look at it at some later point.
