Leslie -
Debian distributes most everything - over 4000 packages in all. Pine
is a special case because its license forbids the distribution of
"derivative works", which means Debian cannot distribute the usual
binary package. However, Debian does distribute the pine396-src and
pine396-diffs packages, which contain the unmodified sources and the
changes to make a Debian package. You can then compile and install it
yourself.
