I think the problem is that Unity doesn't have
  Provides: x-session-manager
and thus it breaks the update-alternatives system concept.

$ apt-cache show gnome-session | grep Provides
Provides: gnome3-session, x-session-manager

$ sudo update-alternatives --config x-session-manager
There are 2 choices for the alternative x-session-manager (providing /usr/bin/x-session-manager).

  Selection    Path                      Προτε Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0            /usr/bin/gnome-session     50        auto mode
  1            /usr/bin/gnome-session     50        manual mode
  2            /usr/bin/openbox-session   40        manual mode


No Unity session there. No, gnome-session isn't enough, since Ubuntu provides a completely different shell than upstream Gnome, it should list it as a separate session.
