Public bug reported:

the command "info info" should show the Info documentation for the info
program. It doesn't, instead reporting the following issue:

"info: No menu item 'info-stnd' in node '(dir)Top'"


This is because the file /usr/share/info/info-stnd.info.gz does not come 
included in the package in 18.04.

However, it does get included in the "info" package in 20.04.

Therefore, please backport this change from 20.04.

A related bug is present here, first reported in 2007:

Hoping for a quick backport. Thanks!
