They won't mess up anything, they install in different names/locations
than existing libraries. When you're installing debian stuff, you can be
sure that new packages won't screw things up because conflicting
packages are labeled as such and require an additional step to resolve
the conflicts.

Actually, it contains neither. It requires you to put the tgz or either
navigator or communicator (from ftp.netscape) in /tmp. Why bother?
Because it makes sure the dependencies are satisfied and ensures that
everything goes in the right place.
