Currently there is no Debian repository for Unity Desktop, at least an official one. As suggested above, have a look on Installing Unity on Debian.
But why you are after unity ? There is many other desktop like KDE,Gnome3, XFCE, LXQt , LXDE etc. Try KDE, this one is awesome, with all bells and whistles, and easily customizable.
Install It
sudo apt-get install kde-plasma-desktop
You will need a little patience, experiment with it and feel its awesomeness.
