There may be: obtain the last sources for 1.2 (snapshot.debian.net or
something, I haven't used it in a while) and figure out the
debian/rules stuff to build it yourself. It might conflict with the
installed gimp though, so you'll have to work that out yourself. Check
out backports.org (I think, haven't ever used it) for directions on
compiling, they might have something like a tutorial.
