have to jump in here, i never had to use the communicator-smotif-* until
recently, before that i always used apt-get install netscape4 and it
always worked!!
would be nice to have that netscape4 package back too since it relied on
a self download of netscape which allowed me to install any netscape4
version i wanted rather then rely on the stuff in the package(easy
upgrades, 128bit support etc).
