Ah, yes; in searching through past messages, I found that text in the announcement of the release of Debian 5.0.10. I am not sure, but, at that time (the message was posted on 11 March, I believe), I think I was running Debian 6, and so did not read that message, other than the subject line as listed in the alpine folder listing, and, as the announcement of the transfer to the Debian archive repository, was not in (or, not found in) either a Debian News message, or, a standalone message, I had missed it.
