You can try the experimental packages I have at my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~mhall119/+archive/ppa

I have tested that they install everything you need, but some of the configuration isn't quite there. For example, the desktop wallpaper, GDM and USplash don't get setup to be used by default. But they won't break anything.

Qimo is based on Xubuntu, and uses the XFCE desktop. If you install qimo-desktop, it will install everything that Qimo uses, including XFCE (but not all of Xubuntu).

Alternately, you can add just the games from Qimo without installing XFCE or the Qimo artwork, by installing the meta-package qimo-games. The qimo-artwork package will include all of qimo-wallpaper, qimo-gdm and qimo-usplash, or you can install each of those individually.

I got more than I asked hehe, thank you for the PPA, I'll keep a close look at it. Much obliged!

P.S. You forgot to fill the "Homepage" field in the debian/control file of qimo-desktop :)

Thanks, these are my first attempts at making Debian packages. Once stable I'll put them in the Qimo Maintainers' PPA, and from there hopefully have them included into Universe.
