I suspect that you could download the HBCI library sources (from
http://www.aquamaniac.de/aqbanking/ I believe) and build them yourself.
Then download the Gnucash sources and rebuild that with HBCI support
enabled.  You'll need the build tools (eg make, gcc, binutils, etc.)
and various -dev packages.  I'm not totally sure what all of the
dependencies are, partitularly under Debian / Ubuntu (I use RedHat
myself).

Or you could complain to the Debian / Ubuntu packagers about not
including the HBCI library (aqbanking).  I don't know what the license
issue is. The aqbanking package under CentOS seems to include the HBCI
support and is GPL, so the fact that the Debian / Ubuntu doesn't include
it is strange.  Maybe someone else has an explaination...
