Package: ftp.debian.org Alpine is now at version 2.0. AFAIK, the only reason to keep pine in the archive is that it has Maildir support built-in, while alpine has not. However, I don't think that is a reason good enough to keep an obsolete, non-free and unmaintained upstream software in the debian ftp servers.
My proposal is to remove pine from testing and unstable now. People who still need it may well build it from the source in lenny/non-free, but somehow we should send the message to any pine user that by the time squeeze is released, pine will no longer be available in a non-free deb-src line of sources.list by default.
