I do not know about enterprise , but I would like a meta package
("ubuntu-desktop-core") that was the desktop environment minus the
userspace apps.  I am installing this for the first time and from the
net.  This would allow me to get using the environment, and then
consider installing more of the ubuntu-desktop.  This would also might
be useful in trying to isolate testing of development packages.
