What you saw on Debian's website is just an installer for Communicator. You
also have to get the Netscape Communicator binary from Netscape's ftp site and
then you place it in /tmp. Make sure it is owned by root.root when you have
placed it there. Once that is done, use the installer (just install it as
usual) and it will install Netscape as though it were a deb package.

I believe it is still 5.0 but I am not certain. A similar situation exists
with respect to RealAudio and Debian. You can download an installer and then
install RealAudio in a fashion much as the one I described above.
