New versions of man2html fixes postinst glitch

Former versions of man2html uses a static file in /tmp for writing. This can lead into overwriting system files if a malicious user has created a symbolic link to it before upgrading man2html.

We recommend you upgrade your man2html package as soon as possible.

wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file.
