I just did a fresh cluster install on next6. You're correct; 
debathena-third-party doesn't install (although the PXE install script 
does in fact attempt to.) Since this was noninteractive, I wasn't able to 
poke aptitude and figure out why it is that it decided to resolve the 
issue by installing iceape-browser instead of debathena-thirdparty. (Does 
thirdparty depend on mozilla or something? That would explain this bit of 
silliness.)

I think it installs _some_ thirdparty stuff, regardless, like xemacs.
