That's due to a small bug in the Makefile. I'll add a fix soon.

To work around the problem, run 'make' by itself first. This will
compile the US English version and, more importantly, generate the
revision.tex file that po4a is complaining about.

Once that's complete, running 'make ubuntu-manual-en_GB.pdf' should
work successfully.
