I'm somewhat surprised those apt errors did not force the makefile to
abort.

You need to enable source packages (System -> Administration -> Software
Sources, then check the Source code checkbox) and re-run make
ubuntu-environment.

Ignas: perhaps it would be a good idea to manually expand the build-deps
of lxml and python-imaging and get those with apt-get install rather
than apt-get build-dep.
