The list name indicates that it’s some kind of library instead. The end user executable for gimp2 is `gimp-2.6`. If you want to just have `gimp`, install the small package gimp2-default. The command `dpkg -L gimp2` will tell you all the files that a package installs. It can be useful when you're not quite sure what file you need to use.
