This seems to me like an obvious bug with an obvious patch:

Meanwhile, have you considered that this cgi-script should be
mentioned more prominently in the package's docs? They currently
claim:

But /usr/bin/gman is no longer the only man-page interface that this
package provides; there's also the remotely accessible
"http://host.domain/cgi-bin/gman.pl?1+foo";, whose existence is
only barely hinted at by the documentation. Of course, anyone who
doesn't want that to work shouldn't install man2html, but the
"Suggests:" for that should be explained in the Description.
