Hmm... so if foobar 1.0 is in stable/binary and foobar 1.1 is in unstable/source, and Fink tries to install an unstable/source package that has a foobar dependency, what would be the effect of -b?
Unless you specify an explicit version on the command-line, fink always picks the highest known version. That would be foobar-1.1 in your example; since it's not available in binary, the -b flag would have no effect.
Darn, then it's just about worthless. Would there be any value in submitting a formal feature request for the kind of "resolve dependencies with binaries if possible" option I'm suggesting?
