Rather than renaming netscape-v304-export.x86-unknown-linux-elf.tar so
that you can use the .deb installer for the netscape 3 version, it's
fairly simple to hack the 3 netscape related install files in
/var/lib/dpkg/info. Simply search for all instances of 301 and change it
to 304, then do the same

My point was that this upgrade of Debian is really expecting a lot
