Yep, build-essential should pull in the make package - along with all
the other stuff that are pretty much necessary for any type of
compiling of source code.  Since Ubuntu is designed as a desktop
system, that kind of stuff isn't installed by default - desktop users
don't usually need a compiler.  build-essential is a meta-package -
meaning it doesn't actually install anything itself, but it lists all
the other packages as it's dependencies, making apt-get pull them in
automagically.
