There are quite a few components in the GNOME modulelists that are in main but aren't in the ubuntu-desktop set (polkit, pulseaudio, upower, etc.). I believe the point of this packageset is for individuals to join the Desktop Team and contribute to gnome-shell and other parts of GNOME not on the CDs, without having to join MOTU. Whether those other components in main should be moved to ubuntu-desktop is a different topic.
