I went ahead and downloaded the 128-bit versions of both Navigator and
Communicator, and the Debian sources. The only files different were
(relative to the base of the Deb sources)
netscape4.73-4.73/src/4.73/i386/6/communicator/netscape-v473.nif and
netscape4.73-4.73/src/4.73/i386/6/navigator/netscape-v473.nif. So, i
copied the ones from the Netscape tarballs and made my own packages
with strong crypto.

BTW, aren't multi-package programs nice? The same bug is filed for
navigator-smotif-473, communicator-base-473, netscape-base-473, and
comminucator-smotif-473.
