Yes, please, although I'd go one step further and get rid of it as a
"Recommends" package, too, because it's a "Recommends" package for
GIMP and GIMP keeps trying to give it to me every single day since
April of 2022, so it's acting like a "Depends" package.

I'd rather be unhappy than incapable of being a user at all, which is
the current state of things whenever wslu is installed, so go for it.
Probably anything you do will be better than how things currently are:

Thank you very much for all of the helpful suggestions. I hope that
the person or persons with the power to implement them listen(s) to
you.
