Actually any of the programs which ubuntu-desktop installs as
dependencies will get upgraded on their own if you do a dist-upgrade to
hoary.  If the hoary version of ubuntu-desktop adds some new
dependencies, it should be fairly simple to examine those (apt-cache
show ubuntu-desktop) and add any that the user finds desireable.  

Unless you never install anything beyond the defaults, no two ubuntu
installations will be identical.
