pine, pico and pilot deb's are included in woody. you'll notice that the
version numbers have an 'L' at the end of them. that signifies (i
believe) that they are not an unmodified binary and allows debian to
distribute the pine binaries that they want to and still comply with the
license.
heyzeus(larry)$ apt-cache search pine
pico - Easy-to-use text editor found in Pine.
