Have someone you know (so he can remove it as well on your request) post a warning rep on your rep. Something along the lines of: This is no negative reputation, but a warning, this guy is legit, but he has people impersonating him. Known impersonators are: ... Always make sure you deal with the right person and not impersonators by following the correct link to his/her profile.
This way you are less attractive to be impersonated, first of all, you don't have a perfect posrep score anymore, second of all, people are likely to look at what exactly the negrep says, someone reading it will see it is not actually a negrep but just a warning. You might lose a trade or so to this, but it's probably better than having someone post a negrep to a trade he think he did with you, but actually did with an impersonator.

Make this your new avatar and the impersonators will leave you alone

"If you are interested in a trade, write on my Steam wall and send me a friend invite. I will see you on my wall and accept your invite. IF YOU RECEIVE AN UNSOLICITED INVITE FROM ME, IT IS AN IMPERSONATOR. Do not accept such an invitation."
You could try ^^^ that.

People don't click steam profile on steamgifts feedback page. Victims only see rep page. Steamgifts supports must do something to stop impersonators. For example; "Users can add note on feedback page"

My trick is to have no personality so all the impersonators break like waves on rocky coast.

I mean, I know I can change my profile picture and etc, but so can the person who's impersonating me. In the past weeks I received 2 -rep feedback on SteamGifts/SteamTrades because of this. Someone even went as far as to report me on Steam Rep. I managed to contact one of the guys who got scammed and I proved him I was the real user (poor guy, I gave him 2 TF2 keys for his loss - he lost Alien Isolation). As to the other guy, he's still offline.
Anyway, is there any way one can avoid being impersonated? I already reported him on Steam and nothing changed so far.
