As a packager for ubuntu, I would advise against using checkinstall, as it doesn't tend to honour a few things that 
need to be done when building debs.

As it is, the latest gimp has been uploaded to gutsy and should be available shortly.

I would strongly advise everybody to lease seek out prebuilt debs before you consider building from source, or even 
using something like checkinstall. if you do end up building from source, please ensure that previous versions of the 
package in question are not on your system, so there are no file conflicts.
