The point is that texi2html has been declared obsolete in Debian,
and should not be used to build packages.

This is actually a consequence of upstream pulling the plug:
        http://www.nongnu.org/texi2html/
...The Texi2HTML maintainers (one of whom is the principal author of the GNU 
Texinfo implementation) do not intend to make further releases of Texi2HTML.....

etc etc

The FTBFS was with respect to the Debian package if texi2html
is not available.

THus, came my suggestion to move to makeinfo.

All the best

Norbert
