Looking at the Debian tracker it seems like someone else had already provide the patch there, unfortunately due to the fact that the html2text package is now orphaned he hadn't been accepted. I'm adding the bug watch

Looks pretty much alike and is fairly readable, but I need the output of html2text for indexing, where this surely makes a difference.
