how to install slink netscape?



I am really confused and I feel like I shouldn't be.  I recently upgraded
to slink so I figured I would go from the old netscape deb package
(netscape4) to the new format (netscape-base-45b2).  So I ended up
removing netscape4 (since it conflicts with the new netscape package) and
installing netscape-base-45b2, netscape-base-4 (since it is necessary for
installing netscape-base-45b2), netscape-java-whatever, and plugger.  All
seemed to go fine and I was very pleased.  I went under the assumption
that the actual netscape binaries were now included in these packages...is
this wrong?  When I tried to run netscape, it wasn't there.  I don't have
a /usr/X11R6/bin/netscape (which I think should probably be a link to
/usr/lib/netscape/45b2/wrapper or something).  All I seem to have are the
wrappers...no real netscape binaries.  I find this odd since the package
installed fine and didn't tell me to do anything.  What stupid thing am I
doing?

Thanks,
Eric.
