At least sane-frontends can be compiled with gimp 2.0 support using
the the Debian sid gimp without any problems. I haven't tried xsane.

"gimptool --cflags" should just list that directory. 
Maybe you also need an installation of "pkg-config"? Can you show us
the output of "configure", please?

Or it's a similar problem as either gimptool hasn't provided the
correct libraries or pkg-config didn't work.

I'm not sure if gimp requires pkg-config. If not, I guess we must
update our configure scrips. This happens without pkg-config:

checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** A new enough version of pkg-config was not found.
*** See http://pkgconfig.sourceforge.net
configure: WARNING: *** GIMP 2.0 plugin requested, but GTK+ 2.0 not
found, falling back to GIMP/GTK+ < 2.0 if possible ***
checking for gtk-config... no
