I too have fallen victim to the same confusing package names before (I
now remember):
ubuntu-desktop-mir: Legacy fullscreen XMir
ubuntu-desktop-next: Unity8 login (not totally usable yet but will evolve
into proper Unity8).
ubuntu-desktop-mir used to work, but the XMir extension has been
rewritten recently. Just retested this on vivid myself and got some
flickering, stuttering, crash, reverted back to regular X. Don't expect
ubuntu-desktop-mir to work. And even if we did fix it, no fix for that
would get backported to Ubuntu 14.10.
You're encouraged to try out and log bugs against ubuntu-desktop-next
though...
