I guess synaptic is a little bit careful here: you're taking the
version texi2html form unstable/testing(?) and try to install it on a
stable system. Meanwhile this is not always a good idea, I don't see
a problem here.
You just have to fulfil all depends of that package an can install
it: dpkg (>= 1.15.4) | install-info. No, I wouldn't replace dpkg, so
download install-info and texi2html from the web and download it
using dpkg.
As said, putting testing packahes on a stable system is not always
recommended, bug in this case it should not hurt.
