I'm not sure _why_ they don't upgrade themselves, but communicator, navigator, and netscape are all dummy packages that simply depend on the real Netscape packages. They primarily exist to ease installation (`apt-get install navigator` is a lot more obvious than `apt-get install navigator-smotif-477 netscape-java-477 netscape-base-4`, particularly when you don't know the current version) and can probably be removed now that the actual software is in place. -- That's not gibberish...
