I must stop avoiding vi at once :-)
I just built pico for someone, and I keep notes:
--8<--------
Ftp to ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/Mirrors/ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/
dists/slink/non-free/source and copied the .tar.gz .diff.gz and .dsc files
for pine_3.96M-2 to ~debian/slink-2.1.
mkdir ~/src and cd to it.
dpkg-source -x ~debian/slink-2.1/pine_3.96M-2.dsc
unpacks the distribution.
cd pine-3.96L
debian/rules build
press enter to accept advice.
bin/pico is what I wanted.
