Yes, it's called xbar211.english.tgz or XBarcode and it can do the
following conversions:

 barcode   output
   * EAN13, EAN8  * PPM
   * UPC  * GIF
   * CodeABar * PCX
   * Code 128 * PBM
   * Code 3/9 * LaTeX
   * Code 2/5 * Postscript
   * Code 2/5 Matrix
   * Code 2/5 Interleaved
  
I don't know where I found it, so you'll have to look for yourself,
but it's out there.

I'm more interested in a program that does the reverse. Given a
gif/jpg/tiff generate the barcode numbers, but I've been unable to
find such a program.

There´s a (La)TeX package (no .deb though) out for some of the codes.
Have a look at CTAN (I only now the german ftp.dante.de).

HTH,

I think there are barcode fonts out there.
