no there is still weak and strong encryption versions of netscape, you
still must go though a click through page stating that you are not
downloading from Iraq or other `terrorist' nation.  

the debian packages are simply using the weak export binaries instead
of the strong crypto version. 

so you either need fortify (not available) or you have to download and
install netscape manually (eschew the .debs).  i went halfway,
downloaded the netscape tarball, extracted the binary and replaced
/usr/lib/netscape/473/communicator/communicator-smotif.real with the
secure version.
