If you want, you can simply remove the deb files. The actual deb files end up in the fink tree somewhere (I have a script that hunts them down under /sw/fink, so I don't remember the exact location), and there are links to them under /sw/fink/debs. The tradeoff, obviously, is that you may end up re-building packages that fink removes. If you keep the deb files, fink can just use them, but if you remove them, fink has to re-build them (e.g., fink "swaps" back and forth between different versions of readline).
