I have created a repo with cfengine scripts: https://github.com/colmsjo/ubuntu_desktop

This installs the desktop (X server etc.):

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

# Alternative
sudo aptitude install --without-recommends ubuntu-desktop  

I'm using cfengine instead. Follow the instructions in the README file: https://github.com/colmsjo/ubuntu_desktop
