I propose this:

* alpine 1.x with Maildir support is shipped.

* We let them to coexist for some weeks, so that people can actually
check that pine is useless in every aspect compared with alpine.

* We remove pine from the archive.

* After this, the /usr/bin/pine namespace is free and you can do
whatever you please with it. For example, you could conflict and
replaces pine and just have a symlink pine -> alpine, or you could
create a binary package called pine which depends on alpine and
provides the symlink pine -> alpine.

[ The alternatives system would require also a pine package that uses
  the alternatives system? If so, that would not be a very good option,
  as pine is going to be removed (hopefully before the release of lenny) ].
