Searching for sources



Hi,

does anybody know how can I search for a source package? For example, I
was wishing to install pine in my machine. If I do:

apt-cache search pine

the pine package isn't listed, but if I do:

apt-get -b source pine

it installs the package perfectly. So, how could I know in advance which
packages are available in the source mirrors listed on my sources.list
file?

Thanks,
Bruno.
