Although the 'gimp' package was in sid since 2003-07-21, it was never
part of sarge. Today, on about the last day normal uploads can make it
to sarge, is a bit late to worry about gimp making it into sarge, isn't
it?
Since gimp 2.x was uploaded, the maintainer left only on two occasions a
gap of more than 10 days between uploads to let the package proceed to
sarge, one was 11 days long, and the other had a failed s390 build.
Anyway, indeed this script doesn't track package renames. Please mail to
debian-release to convince the RM's to keep an eye on gimp, I cannot
speak for them, so I don't know whether they will care.
Anyway, there is a reasonable chance it'll make sarge on its own, it's
10 days old now, and hold up by four known transitions, which will be
resolved for sarge.
