Yes, I've checked this package. Besides being VERY ALPHA, it generates
old-style LaTeX (LaTeX2.09), and is pretty limited and monolithic.
html2latex is a much better piece of software, IMHO. It's more complete.
It's more modular: it uses an already packaged Perl HTML parser
(HTML::Tree), other already packaged Perl package Image::Magick (from
perlmagick package) as optional for converting images. It's more
extensible and I intend to colaborate with upstream.
That's why I ITP'ed it.
