Pine is a mail-reading client, which is frequently being used to connect
to servers over which one has no control or influence. An analogous piece
of software might be mgetty. I think there'd be plenty of complaints if
mgetty couldn't log its conversations.
Anybody who is offended by the 'ugly' debug files (which are, after all,
hidden) can easily delete in the many ways that unix provides; wrapper,
cron, etc.

I thought Debian existed partly to avoid all that. That's why most people
are using the binary distributions. Again, if the experts are offended by
the debug files, they can easily take any actions they feel may be necessary.
