To focus the discussion a bit, here is the list after some manual 
processing. Feel free to correct me.

In experimental:
  kdebase-workspace-bin
  kde-window-manager
  libplasma2 

Stuff that will not be in main. It's great stuff for off-topic threads:

  adobe-flashplugin 
  opera 
  picasa 
  rar 
  skype

  sun-java5-jre 
  sun-java6-bin 
  sun-java6-jdk
  sun-java6-jre 
  unrar
  virtualbox
  virtualbox-2.0
    (As opposed to virtualbox-ose?)

Non-free "patented":
  avidemux 
  dvdrip
  gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse
  gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse 
  lame

  hwdb-client-gnome 
  sessreg 
  volumeid 


Different Packaging:
  bluez 
  busybox-initramfs 
  system-config-printer-common
  system-config-printer-gnome
    Ubuntu's split is better here, per Sune's message.
  firefox-2 
  firefox-3.0 
  firefox-3.0-branding
  firefox-3.0-gnome-support 
  iceauth
  language-pack-de 
  language-pack-de-base
  language-pack-en 
  language-pack-en-base 
  language-pack-es
  language-pack-es-base 
  language-pack-fr 
  language-pack-fr-base
  libbluetooth3
  libcamel1.2-14 
  libgnome-desktop-2-7
  libgucharmap7
  libltdl7
    (We have different versions of those libraries. But then again, in most 
    cases a different library version is a different version of the same 
    package, and normally end users don't need the library itself)
  linux-firmware
  linux-headers-2.6.24-21 
  linux-headers-2.6.24-21-generic
  linux-headers-2.6.27-7 
  linux-headers-2.6.27-7-generic
  linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic 
  linux-image-2.6.22-15-generic
  linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic 
  linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic
  linux-image-2.6.24-21-generic 
  linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic
  linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic
  linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-21-generic
  linux-restricted-modules-common
  linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-generic
  linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-21-generic
  openoffice.org-l10n-common
  openoffice.org-style-human 
  soprano-daemon
  sysvutils
    Or rather: really part of upstart
  xdpyinfo 
  xkbutils
  xmodmap 
  xorg-driver-fglrx 
  xrdb 
  xset 
  xsetroot 
  xvinfo

The following strike me at first as a bit Ubuntu-specific. That is not 
to say that that they are not interesting. Please don't flame here but 
point out those interesting packages for Debian.

Ubuntu-specific?:
  hwtest 
  hwtest-gtk 
  landscape-common 
  kubuntu-artwork-usplash
  language-selector
  language-selector-common
  launchpad-integration
  liblaunchpad-integration1
  onboard 
  powermanagement-interface
  python-launchpad-bugs
  python-launchpad-integration
  restricted-manager 
  restricted-manager-core
  ufw 
  usb-creator 
  usplash-theme-ubuntu 

Others:
  apparmor 
  apparmor-utils
    Any work on that?
  apport
  apturl 
    Debian has aptlinex instead?
  binutils-static 
    What's the point of that one?
  bluez-gstreamer
  compiz-wrapper
  dkms 
  emerald 
  example-content
  gdebi-kde 
  inputattach
  jockey-common
  jockey-gtk
  jockey-kde
  kio-umountwrapper
  libcanberra-gnome
  libcryptui0
  libdca0
  libebackend1.2-0
  libedataserver1.2-11 
  libemeraldengine0
  libfaac0
  libgp11-0 
  nvidia-settings
    Maybe this one belongs in contrib?
  pxljr 
  python-apport 
  python-bittorrent 
  python-cupshelpers
  python-gconf 
  python-gnomecanvas
  python-problem-report 
  python-virtkey
  python-xkit
  seahorse-plugins
  smartdimmer 
  system-config-printer-kde
    Planned on next KDE major version, per Sune's message.
  update-motd 
  upstart 
  upstart-compat-sysv
  upstart-logd 

A large number of those are lib* and python*. Those are not interesting
as-is to users, but may be pre-requirements for packaging other stuff.
