It's probably caused by this change:

  * debian/rules: changed pkgdatadir to /usr/share/aspell which is a more
    appropriate location for that data than /usr/lib/aspell, and leave the
    spell and ispell scripts there so that run-with-aspell works

since that changed the location of the nroff filter (among other
things), but I'm not sure why that change would make aspell fail to find
the filters.
