Thank you, now I have upgraded texi2html to v1.82 and have been able
to complete the process.  I uncompressed it from the deb package[1]
because I can no longer compile it:

otherwise please
                            specify an --msgid-bugs-address command line option.

The dirty hack was to uncompress the data/ directory from the .deb package with

  $ sudo tar -xvzf data.tar.gz -C /

Installing the package the standard way does not work, either; I need
to upgrade dpkg and libc6 as well. I think this is too much for a
single-file perl script.
