Good question. I don't know how to overcome this.

Fink probably assumes that the old packages are still installed and functional.
Saving the old setup with 'dpkg --get-selections'/'dpkg --set-selections' and using dselect should take care of this, though for that it would probably be easiest to do a fresh bootstrap installation on the new partition and then add the other packages from the .debs.
