Hi Ioa,
there should be no big problem in mixing a woody gimp1.2 (when it is
released and packed for debian) with a potato system. Installing potato
debs on a slink box is much more difficult since potato was linked agains
glibc2.1 whereas slink against glibc2.0, and glibc is a quiet esential
library.
