Probably, but then I would have to make two separate tools, one for
standard debian and other for Fink. :)
I still don't understand why Fink needs to keep both Source and Package
fields in the final .deb file information identical, I managed to modify
fink packaging routines so that it'll generate the packages into same form
as Debian does. This way I can easily determine for my owns statistics the
original source and version, of which the package(s) have been generated.
Here's the change that I made:

The tool that I started working on yesterday is at

does about the same with standard dpkg/apt tools, please let me know. :)
