The command
dpkg --info somepackage.deb
will show you what goes inside a .deb file besides the files that are
to be installed.
The Description field in the .deb file contains Fink's Description,
DescDetail, DescUsage, Homepage fields -- and apparently it also
contains Fink's Maintainer field even though there is a Maintainer
field in the .deb file.
For example,
$ dpkg --info denyhosts-py25_2.6-1_darwin-x86_64.deb
new debian package, version 2.0.

Description: Script to thwart ssh server attacks
DenyHosts is a Python script that analyzes
the sshd server log messages to determine
what hosts are attempting to hack into
your system. It also determines what user
accounts are being targeted. It keeps
track of the frequency of attempts from
each host. Additionally, upon discovering
a repeated attack host, the /etc/hosts.deny
file is updated to prevent future break-in
attempts from that host. An email report
can be sent to a system
admin.
.
