Obviously this package should *never* be installed on a desktop or even on most VMs, but only within WSL instances.

Due to some stroke of misfortune, apt is picking wslu out of all packages as the package for this use case. Installing gimp-help-en will also install www-browser, which results in wslu becoming installed. wslu causes quite a few problems when installed on a desktop system - among them, the syslog is spammed with errors due to the system not in fact being a WSL VM, audio breaks in weird ways, and application launchers sometimes fail. Why this happens is unclear, but the issues appear to resolve once wslu is removed from the system. It is therefore probably a good idea to avoid wslu becoming installed on accident in this way. Probably the best way to resolve this is to ensure that some package that provides www-browser is available on every Ubuntu image. This could be done via seeding or by adding a package to ubuntu-minimal. Alternatively, wslu could be set to no longer provide www-browser, though it's unclear if that would break its functionality.

I do not believe this is fixable in ubuntu-meta at all, unless the Flavors want Firefox to be moved to desktop-common which would prevent any flavor from choosing chromium-browser.

Yes, Ubuntu Desktop Flavors that want to use Firefox need to install the Firefox apt package. Or if they want to use Chromium, they need to install the chromium-browser apt package. The firefox and chromium-browser apt packages should have their package descriptions updated because they are not only transitional packages but provide a few things that can't be provided by a snap.
