gimp-data version 2.6.0-1 isn't available anymore.

Not in every case (like this one).
The package is installable, but it's temporarily unavailable for
i386 right now (it's waiting on incoming.debian.org and soon it should
hit the Debian mirror that you are using).

The Debian BTS is the right place to report problems that you find.
But not every problem is a real problem :-)

Packages uploaded to unstable and experimental may have a delay to
be fully available (since they need to be built and uploaded).
You are hitting this problem because gimp-data is an arch "all" package
(it doesn't need to be built for every arch that Debian supports), while
gimp needs to be built.

Best regards,
Nelson
