Building and downgrading any package to another version which is in the
distro (e.g. from the stable tree) is fully supported:

fink install fink-0.29.19-51

(or one can use apt-get to downgrade  if an older binary version is is
on the system, e.g. when 'cleanup' hasn't been run)

fink-cvs deliberately has a higher version number to keep people's HEAD
checkouts from getting clobbered by official releases in the same
series.  The penalty for this is that one has to update from CVS and
inject periodically to get updates.
