snort 2.7.0 from experimental already build-depends on texlive instead
of tetex.

Thanks for the pointer to a similar change in the past. Based on the
changes in faq.tex, I could fix snort_manual.tex to build without
html.sty (and without latex2html).

Attached is the patch I used to get the documentation build on Ubuntu.
