I tried this building glib = 2.32 for Oneiric. The unfortunate users were running in dependency nightmares so I stop backporting in my PPA. I had to build new Oneiric packages like lxdm, lxlauncher and xfdesktop. IMHO this is not an option.

I don't now. I think if we want gimp-2.8 and the appropriate packages too in Ubuntu series < Precise we need "standalone" packages which almost nothing have to do with the underlying Ubuntu series < Precise. They could reside in /opt/gimp-standalone per instance.

I started such work some weeks ago but I have no results yet except babl. Shame on me.
