The default key binding for the menu is a Debian specific extension.
In an unpatched ratpoison you can get it by adding

bind period exec /etc/X11/ratpoison/ratpoisonmenu debian.menu

to your .ratpoisonrc
(of course you still need to have the /etc/X11/ratpoison/ratpoisonmenu
from the Debian package installed and menu-method script to generate
the menus for it).
