Title:
  FFe: Sync gimp 2.10.0~RC2-1 (universe) from Debian experimental (main)

Status in gimp package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Feature Freeze Justification
  ============================
  gimp's last new stable series, 2.8, was released 6 years ago. The new series has years of work porting gimp to use gegl more completely, an integrated crash report tool, and many more improvements.

  The Gimp development team is so small that I do not expect there to be
  much support at all for gimp 2.8 any more.

  Future
  ======
  If the final gimp 2.10 is not released before Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is, then we should do an SRU to update it then.

  The Gimp developers have announced that they will add features to
  future 2.10 releases so that users won't have to wait several years
  like this again.

  Gimp 3.0 will switch to gtk3 (or gtk4).

  Affected Flavors
  ================
  Ubuntu Studio is the only flavor to include gimp by default.

  development releases at https://www.gimp.org/news/
