Wouldn't it be better to use the pine*-src and pine*-diff Debian
packages? I believe that these create the necessary patches to fit it in
a Debian system and then builds a local pine*.deb. I haven't done this,
but this is what most of the *-src package that Debian distributes do.
That way it is all under Debian package managment.
