Bug Description
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/
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!

For a workaround, you can do the following:
sudo wget -O /usr/share/
note that the output file does not have the "tar" segment.
