Pedantically (but it's a bit important anyway), Unity *is* Gnome 3 -
both Gnome Shell and Unity use Gnome 3 to provide all the underlying
tools a DE needs. Gnome 3 vs Unity isn't a question of defaults -
they're two different shells for the same DE.

Anyway, Gnome Shell is in the gnome-shell package in universe, so
if you install that you should then have Gnome Shell as an option on
log in.
