I don't have your answer - but I suspect one of the GnuCash developers
will have no problem answering your question after this ...

Following the instructions on the Ubuntu wiki and using the EXACT
same GnuCash source I created a version on 7.04 with OFX import
and a version on 8.04 without OFX import in the menu.  How is that
possible?  Just a guess but ...

My old 7.04 system has a nearly a years worth of adding dev tools
for a wide variety of projects and my work.  8.04 is basically a clean
install which only has what we were told to add and I suspect what
Ubuntu thinks is required.  However something is missing from the
dependency list.  The instructions follow:

sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall guile-1.6-dev
guile-1.6-slib libgoffice-0-dev libgtkhtml3.14-dev texinfo gettext
intltool libtool swig
./configure
make
make install
