Mine makes no mention of texi2html.  I searched through the entire
r-base source and only found a mention of texi2html in the debian
control files and changelog.  So I'm unsure where you're getting a
mention of texi2html from.

The binary is being removed from debian entirely.  It has been
replaced by texi2any in the texinfo package.

It currently (version 3.0.2-1) says in doc/manual/Makefile.in:

TEXI2HTML = $(MAKEINFO) $(MAKEINFO_HTML_OPTS)

so it's now using makeinfo instead of texi2html upstream.
