In my case, gimp-help-en is attempting to force me to use it daily
ever since the very first time I dared to click on GIMP's "Help" menu
about a year ago.

This is the problem right here and needs to be solved. The wslu
package should never, ever have even been considered as a suitable
candidate for satisfying that dependency. Hopefully that will now be
corrected.

Perhaps, but we've only encountered the problem with this Snap
version of Firefox in place, so it's yet another burden that we
wouldn't have had placed upon us if the Snap version weren't used or
if the team who wanted to use it had ironed out its kinks before
rolling it out - especially in an LTS release.
