Have you tried compiling from source? I just gave it a quick go, and
it seems to compile fine (the errors I got were solved on the
website).

I've just tried the .deb from
http://linux.suramya.com/tutorials/Install_GIMPShop/ and had to find
libtiff3g from debians oldstable. The rest of the dependencies should
be in the repositories (I'm using dapper).

Theres mention of (an old) ubuntu package here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=67525 which seems to work
fine with dpkg -i.
