One downside to GnuCash's status (in Ubuntu's Universe repository) is that
GnuCash 2.6.1 (current Debian release when that release of Ubuntu was
"frozen") will forever be the version in the Ubuntu 14.04 Universe
repository. If the Debian version is newer, someone can request it be
included in the Ubuntu Backports repository, but that process is slow.

See http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Ubuntu for details.

As long as GetDeb is available it will likely always be the quickest way to
get the latest version of GnuCash in Ubuntu.

P.S.: If someone has compiled GnuCash for Ubuntu 14.04 please update the
wiki with the latest dependencies, etc.
