It was no mistake.  I built the installer from scratch.  If there was a
previous netscape package, I was unaware of it.  The current netscape.deb
package itself is public domain and I would like to leave it where it is.
There is no reason to restrict it's distribution.  I would consider a
comprimise and put it under "contrib".  That way it would still go on
all CDs, an important point, I believe.

Comments?
