You can do this easilly with aptitude's TUI. Open

sudo aptitude

and navigate in the menu interface to the Installed Packages line. Than
issue the command key

M

so it will mark ALL installed packages as being automatically installed.
This will auto select *evertything* as unneeded and for removal. Then
search for ubuntu-desktop, and unmark it as auto installed with

m

This will keep it installed, as well as it's dependecies, and
recommendencies.

Then, to commit, use

g

once for the summary of changes, and another time for confirmation.
