Someone who is more familiar with html2text could do that. But this
still would not address the need for reproducible documentation builds.
Almost every improvement to html2text will change the result
(othewise, why bother :-), so that earlier results are no longer
reproducible, and diffs and patches will bloat.
It's the same problem with code formatting: the indent tool has
imperfections, but the result needs to be reproducible otherwise
(bug or emergency) patches will bloat, and worse: they will fail
to apply when I need to rebase them to an earlier Postfix release.
