That was it.

I always turn-off «suggests» and «recommends» for apt, thus package 
libaspell-dev was not installed. Once the package is installed check 
spelling is available and menu works fine.

Current description for libaspell-dev states: 

****
This package contains the headers and static libraries for developing 
applications with Aspell spell-checking support.

You need this package ONLY if you plan to build applications that link 
against the Aspell libraries. You do not have to install this package 
if all you want to do is use the Aspell program to spell-check 
documents.  
****

May I suggest changing package description this way?

(...) You DO have to install this package if you want to use Aspell 
program to spell-check documents.

Thanks,
