It seems that the behaviour desired by this bug is the default in Ubuntu 13.10.

Note too that there are people lobbying to be able to sleep on lid-close only when no monitor is connected as well! See http://askubuntu.com/q/362337/17164

When I move to my desk, I close the laptop and use a nice large monitor. There does not seem to be an option to avoid sleeping on lid close when an external monitor is connected any more.
