What I do is edit /etc/apt/sources.list to point to unstable,
then

# apt-get update
# apt-get install navigator

I make sure it doesn't want to pull in a new libc6 for the
package I want from unstable (it doesn't for netscape) before I
approve and let it continue.  After the install, I edit
/etc/apt/sources.list again to point it back to potato and run
`apt-get update' again.
