I am running unstable at home, and I just did a dist-upgrade
(well, it took 3 days; I hadn't done a dist-upgrade in a
long time, and this was a 56k dialup).  Gnucash came down and
installed with everything else.  So, one method is to do
a dist-upgrade.  Otherwise you could try apt-get install
on ALL the packages gnucash needs.
