The problem is not the bug you show below, but that cinepaint is a GTK+ 1.x application. GTK+ 1.x and related libs are scheduled for removal from debian, because it is no longer supported by anyone. As part of the removal, all reverse dependencies must be removed. There was an attempt to reintroduce it to debian by Thanasis Kinias, but so far nothing has happened. See the bug log for cinepaint's removal for more details[1]. I should point out that as long as cinepaint requires GTK+ 1.x, then it has a verey low chance of entering debian.
