Is there any documentation of this ”Sin’s” branch of dpkg?

But for Mac OS 11, 12 and now 13 the method is to download “The Sin’s” branch of dpkg 1.16 and then initialize it and update as normal.  I recall some communication that there was a problem updating the dpkg data base from one version to another and that no one had tracked down the issue and that you could not update from the Catalina release to newer ones.  Since I do a new install on new OS’s anyway it hasn’t been much of a problem.  However I have not tried Ventura yet since compatibility with other software is still undetermined.  But this works for fink on Monterey just fine.

However, I have gotten around that by forcing terminal to run in Rosetta 2 mode, but that is really a temporary hack and adding a compile flag to get fink to produce universal binaries (possibly as a config option) would be great.  The rest of fink and the utilities are in perl which should be architecture independent.
