How would one package it? Pre-depend on netscape4, divert
/usr/lib/netscape/netscape to netscape.orig, and then use fortify to
generate /usr/lib/netscape/netscape? On removal remove netscape
and undo diversion?
Also, fortify upstream distribution package contains precompiled
binaries. Should the package be constructed to use these precompiled
ones, or recompile them during packing?
