You should stay away, really.

In addition to being non-free, there are two additional reasons why I
think this should not be done, as it would be a complete waste of time:

a) It is likely that pine will eventually be replaced by alpine
(once alpine is mature enough).

b) There should be a mta-base package on which packages like this
may depend, so that we do not duplicate the same debconf questions
about /etc/mailname and /etc/news/server over and over again
in every package managing those files.
