If anyone would like to try the new .deb (works on all debian based systems), run 
dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gambc/gambc_4.2.9-1.dsc
then extract the tarballs, then put the debian folder inside the gambc folder, then run
debuild
then install the .deb

That comment *is* helpful.
