If xfs won't install (Package 'xfs' has no installation candidate) you need to add the saucy repo:

echo 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu saucy main universe' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/extra.list
apt-get update

I have updated the above script to work with Maya 2015 SP5 and Ubuntu 14.04
https://gist.github.com/Garoe/859324436d1273aa56ff
Notice that there are a few commands to run after the script have finished and they are at the bottom of the gist

If anyone wants a version for Maya 2016 SP4, I have it here: https://gist.github.com/z3ntu/8ed3fd920ebd8651dd87
