Building ubuntu-docs

How do I build the HTML pages for the documentation contained in
ubuntu-docs?  I am following the documentation [1] but it does not work.
 I must be missing something basic, sorry for that.

$ bzr branch lp:ubuntu-docs
$ cd ubuntu-docs
$ make all

make: *** No rule to make target `all'.  Stop.

So I saw autogen.sh:

$ ./autogen.sh
/usr/bin/gnome-autogen.sh
checking for autoconf >= 2.53...
.
.
.
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating ubuntu-help/Makefile
Now type `make' to compile ubuntu-doc

$ make all
.
.
.
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/peter/Data/U1/launchpad/ubuntu-docs/ubuntu-help'
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/peter/Data/U1/launchpad/ubuntu-docs'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all-am'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/peter/Data/U1/launchpad/ubuntu-docs'

So where are the pages?

$ find . -name '*html'
./html

$ ls html
total 36K
-rwxrwxr-x 1 peter peter 1.4K Apr 18 09:28 fix-urls.sed*
drwxrwxr-x 2 peter peter 4.0K Apr 18 09:28 img/
-rw-rw-r-- 1 peter peter 4.2K Apr 18 09:28 Makefile
-rw-rw-r-- 1 peter peter  18K Apr 18 09:28 ubuntu.xsl
