the package akonadi-search uses rust-html2text for parsing html.
Upstream upgraded its requirements to 0.16, but Debian only has 0.12.
Sadly, it seems that 0.12 crashes a lot [1].
hmm? I don't see such a dependency.

I also notice that gnome-podcasts still seems to be on 0.12 upstream.
After further consideration, I've decided to update html2text to 0.16.2,
this was the last version to use html5ever 0.35, which was recently
uploaded to Debian.
I could potentially update it further, but that would require either
downpatching the dependency or updating html5ever further.
