As an "insider" on another Debian based distro, I know that Ubuntu recompiles 
libraries for each release, starting from scratch as it were, and as a result 
some of Ubuntu should be described as "experimental" rather than "testing".

Ubuntu packages can't be used freely across other Debian distros because base 
libraries differ.

It isn't appropriate to point the finger at Gnucash developers. Speak loudly 
to Ubuntu.
