I have

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian experimental main non-free contrib

and I find this:

$ apt-cache policy xorg
xorg:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1:7.0.4
  Version table:
     1:7.0.4 0
         50 http://ftp.debian.org experimental/main Packages

So I guess the name of the new metapackage to install is "xorg".
Unfortunately I have not yet had the time to play with it.
