If you're on 11.0.1, there's a working branch at 
<https://github.com/TheSin-/fink/>. These commands will get you there 
(preferable to upgrade Fink before updating to Big Sur):

git clone https://github.com/TheSin-/fink/ fink-thesin
cd fink-thesin
git checkout dpkg1.16
./inject.pl

Others are now reviewing support for 11.1 (which had an important break 
from 11.0).

The current fink branch from TheSin works with 10.9-11.0.1. Hoping that 
when the latest 11.1 patch is reviewed that we can push Big Sur support 
to the general tree and then a release.
