Saïvann: I checked the bug report before starting to work on the package
- the bug has been open since November 2008 (more than 6 month).

Last message from the pacckager was Thu, 19 Feb 2009 11:52:19 -0800

Now let's check for how long we've been out of date
   gnucash | 2.2.4-1ubuntu1 | hardy/universe | source, amd64, i386
   gnucash | 2.2.6-2ubuntu3 | intrepid/universe | source, amd64, i386
   gnucash | 2.2.6-2ubuntu5 | jaunty/universe | source, amd64, i386
   gnucash | 2.2.6-3ubuntu1 | karmic/universe | source, amd64, i386
Gnucash 2.2.7 was released in September 2008.

Waiting more could mean we'll get in a situation where because of DIF,
FF or anything else, gnucash will still be outdated in Karmic.

I kept the Debian packaging intact - didn't correct any of the lintian
errors or packaging mistakes, so we can just sync with Debian when
somehow the package gets updated in Debian. We do that quite often
actually, and for gnucash, if you check the changelog, the package was
already modified in Ubuntu - 2.2.9, since the patches are already there,
can actually drop the modifications and make it simpler to sync with
Debian.

2.2.6 also suffers from a bug (a patch has been in Debian,
reverted/fixed upstream because buggy, but never fixed in
Debian/Ubuntu), so keeping 2.2.6 in Karmic serves no purpose.
