Great, because I tried to make some sort of deps check
http://paste.debian.net/plain/105221 (long time ago) wasn't aware
there was http://wiki.debian.org/Ayatana/Packages which is great
because I was thinking of re-packaging indicator-* stuff first and
I'll make sure I update the list.
I'll redo the whole process, and will report back on the results on
what happens.
Also, it should be noted that Unity is currently implemented as a
plugin to the Compiz 0.9.x branch. Which is only in experimental, so
uploads need to be targeted there.
I agree, all uploads should be in experimental.

Has there been any progress on this ITP?
Not that I know. You're welcome to help, Adnan is doing lots of other
stuff already and pkg-ayatana is largely understaffed in general.
Thank you Raphael for this very thoughtful observation, as it is
absolutely true.
I kind of paused this whole process at the moment, was even thinking
of adding RFH tag to this ITP if that's even possible. Implementation
of Unity into Debian requires immense amount of work to be done, and
I'm not even sure it can be done by one person. Before I paused this
process, huge deal of packages were missing in Debian, even in case
they were present in Debian they required patching. Of course, these
packages could be repackaged directly from Ubuntu as they are already
patched and working nicely in Ubuntu.
Before resuming this process I believe we need to figure out which way
to go. I assume it's patching current Debian packages. As Raphael
already said, I'm doing bunch of other stuff, so help would be highly
appreciated. If I could get extra pair of hands and where we would
divide duties among ourselves I believe this whole process could be
finished relatively fast.
