Unity 2D was abandoned and removed from the repositories in the 12.10 release cycle to focus all development resources on the compiz-based Unity.
In the future the current implementation of Unity (compiz-based Unity version 7.2) will be replaced by the converged desktop experience of Unity 8, which we will then still call Unity. To my knowledge this future implementation, which is based upon Qt 5.x will not require compiz.
