Aha, good question and now its making sense. I used the getdeb repository to install gnucash as the Ubuntu repo was stuck on a previous version and I needed the newer features. Apparently it doesn't also have the docs.

$ apt-cache policy gnucash
gnucash:
   Installed: 1:2.6.5-1~getdeb4
   Candidate: 1:2.6.5-1~getdeb4
   Version table:
  *** 1:2.6.5-1~getdeb4 0
         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
      1:2.6.1-2 0
         500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages
$ apt-cache policy gnucash-docs
gnucash-docs:
   Installed: 2.6.1-1
   Candidate: 2.6.1-1
   Version table:
  *** 2.6.1-1 0
         500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages
         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

So hopefully that shouldn't happen to too many people then!
