contrib/ or optional/ sounds better than thirdparty/ to me.
Wouldn't the custom fink mirror only work when installing from debian
packages (which, admittedly, I never do-- I always have fink configured to
download-and-build; never using dselect).

What about a contrib or optional tree? when things that are binary only
could be packaged, and made available to the public. (I have not read
the entire policy yet, so this may be in there...)
and don't forget: anyone can have a custom fink mirror
Max,
I can understand your position and respect the desire not to dilute
the Fink policy unless absolutely positively necessary, even if-- in this
one case-- I disagree.
And I *fully* support your proposal regarding a third party section.
I actually have a few Fink packages
