install-info: warning: no info dir entry in `/usr/share/info/menu.info.gz'
is against menu

install-info: warning: no info dir entry in `/usr/share/info/ispell.info.gz'
is against ispell

The issue is these info files are missing:
START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
<info on package>
END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY

ispell upstream http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=528874

For menu it is fixed:
Upstream http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=528892
Source: menu
Source-Version: 2.1.42

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
menu, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive:

menu_2.1.42.dsc
  to pool/main/m/menu/menu_2.1.42.dsc
menu_2.1.42.tar.gz
  to pool/main/m/menu/menu_2.1.42.tar.gz
menu_2.1.42_amd64.deb
  to pool/main/m/menu/menu_2.1.42_amd64.deb

This bug was fixed in the package menu - 2.1.42ubuntu1

---------------
menu (2.1.42ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian testing (LP: #498112), remaining changes:
    - debian/conffiles, debian/su-to-rootrc, debian/rules, doc/su-to-root.1:
      Set default of SU_TO_ROOT_SU to "sudo" in conffile.
      This is specific to Ubuntu.
  * New upstream release 2.1.42:
    - Adds @direntry to menu.info (LP: #391466)
    - Uses dh_installinfo instead of install-info (LP: #434445)
