Not really a "version of pine", according to Wikipedia it seems to be a
new set of tools, albeit from the same source (UoW):

"In 2006, the University of Washington announced that it stopped
development of Pine with Pine 4.64, although Pine continues to be
supported.[6]

In its place is a new family of email tools based upon Pine, called
Alpine and licensed under the Apache License, version 2."

That's what I meant (and I thought also wrote). Alpine is in the repos I
listed, but Pine is not due to its license. 

The OP had complained that "not even pine" is in the repos, but the
reasons are different: Alpine is just not in Dapper, probably just
because it is too new for that, while Pine cannot reasonably be in any
distro.
