Ok, i have to learn to check everything before i post!

Source _debs_ don't seem to be available, but the sources themselves are
available on ftp.debian.org and mirrors. You'll need the .orig.tar.gz, 
.diff.gz, and .dsc for whatever source you download. Then, follow those
directions in /usr/src/pine/README which you conveniently have installed.

Remember that to compile sources you'll need a good number of -dev
packages. If you get an error saying you're missing foo.h, that probably
means you didn't install a -dev that the compilation needs.
