Ubuntu is a distribution based on Debian.  This means that, except where
special attention is devoted to a package by Ubuntu developers, we use
Debian's package from unstable.  Therefore, Gimp is the same version as the
one in Debian unstable.

The new OpenOffice.org 2.2 has been brought in from Debian experimental by
Matthias Klose periodically during the development of Feisty, with
appropriate care and testing.

I hope this clarifies the difference for you.
