Dude, I know we debian users are weird people, but hey, I know the ximian
distro people try hard to get the packages right. A patch instead of a flame
helps a lot more.
There is Hadess's build of ximian gnome at
http://www.hadess.net/idoru.shtml, you could try that as well.

But the main point here is that you dont need any GNOME stuff to get Gimp
1.2 running, just gtk. I guess there are such gtk packages in debian as
well, at least in testing; brave souls could try install those on a potato
system? Dunno if it breaks anything, shouldnt gtk 1.2.x be compatible with
gtk 1.2.y anyway?
Not that I really know anything but this is how I do things, if they break,
I fix them then :)
