Yes, it is available _from_ Debian, but only as source.  That's because pine
does not install (by default) according to Debian policy, and the copyright
holders on pine do not allow you to distribute altered binaries.  Therefore,
pine is in non-free (and, just to be clear, it's not part of official
Debian).  There's also a set of diffs for altering pine to make it
Debianized.
