OK, I have to admit that I really don't understand what is going on
here. For some reason your apt regarded the gimp 2.2.13-1 package on the
server as being different from the gimp 2.2.13-1 that you had installed
already and it "upgraded" accordingly. Your package pin cannot prevent
this since both are "2.2.13-1".

It would interesting to see what "apt-cache policy gimp" produces now,
and also "apt-cache show" for one of the "not upgraded" packages, e.g.
"apt-cache show gimp-data".
