install 2.6.3 on debian 7 (64bit)

[tereque]

thanks to the pointings from Xavier I installed gnucash 2.6.3 form the 
debian backports on my debian 7
this is how it works:

1.) add the backports to your /etc/apt/sources.lst
       deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ wheezy-backports main contrib

2.) apt-get update

3.) apt-get -t wheezy-backports install gnucash

*I had a gnucash 2.4 from the stable Wheezy repos already installed. I 
didn't remove it.
Apparently apt can take care of this and resolving all dependencies 
(which in part are coming from the backport repos as well) all by 
itself. Great tool !
