Gmic & gimp 2.10 from flatpak on debian 9 stable. Partial solution.
Tipographic convention:
input in terminal
output in terminal
This work for me but require a gtk version of gmic (available 1 june, no available now)
download org.gimp.GIMP.flatpakref
from https://www.gimp.org/downloads/ (the " Install GIMP flatpak" button)
download gmic_gimp2.10_gtk_2.2.4_pre_debian_sid_amd64.zip
from ???
flatpak --user install org.gimp.GIMP.flatpakref
flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP
cp gmic_gimp2.10_gtk_2.2.4_pre_debian_sid_amd64.zip ~/.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/
cd ~/.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins
unzip gmic_gimp2.10_gtk_2.2.4_pre_debian_sid_amd64.zip
flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP

Now gmic run on gimp. I test this solution from 2 weeks, no problem.
For qt gmic (the only available now on gmic site), this trick does not work: the plugin wants a version of libqt upper the version in debian stable, I try the version in unstable (download the package extract the lib with dpkg -x and copy, but the lib want an upper version of glibc).
I try the flatpak libqt (and fail)
flatpak --user install flathub org.kde.Platform//5.11
but flatpak’s gimp don’t see other runtime
I try also to copy qtlib from kde runtime to gnome runtime.
cp -ai .local/share/flatpak/runtime/org.kde.Platform/x86_64/5.11/active/files/lib/libQt5Widgets.* local/share/flatpak/runtime/org.gnome.Platform/x86_64/3.28/active/files/lib/

gimp see the gimp-qt plugin but the plugin crash.
