Sorry, gotta put in my $0.02. The fink/debian package system is 
actually pretty smart, and having this version available helps when 
the rest of your developers use various Unix Pythons. I asked Tony 
about this a couple of hours ago, and he mentioned that the whole 
debian stuff could be very well utilized for more version control 
when installing "extra Python packages" if I understood him 
correctly. To sum up: Add whatever links, but please don't remove 
the fink link from python.org.
