The manpage for fink.conf says:
Verbose: a number from 0 to 3
This option sets how much information Fink tells you about what it
is doing. The values are:
0 - Quiet (don't show download stats)
1 - Low (don't show tarballs being expanded)
2 - Medium (shows almost everything)
3 - High (shows everything)
The default value is 1.
That seems pretty explicit to me. Note that this is the manpage for
the fink.conf file, not for "fink's process of setting this value".
That latter topic is beyond the scope of this manpage.
During 'fink configure', the prompt is "How verbose should Fink be?"
and clearly describes each choice in plain terms, not "what value
would you like for the Verbose field?"
