I wondered, why wheezy as well, since it is oldstable & final security 
update was a month or so ago. I suppose that is a good reason.

You could chance downloading a more recent deb

https://packages.debian.org/sid/gimp-help-en  about 27 MB

Which gives gimp-help 2.8.2 ie. the second release of 2.8 help, also most 
recent.

and in a terminal forcing an install


dpkg --force-all -i gimp-help-en_2.8.2-0.1_all.deb


might/might not work

A safer way is not a package, Gimp help in a PDF. Searchable and with an 
index.
