I'm not running Mint, but I just re-read these posts and see that what
you quoted actually says, essentially, `lsb_release -sc` gives the
"wrong" answer and may have written that to the sources file.  You say
that's not the case (the file being wrong), so that should not be an issue.

I see http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_qiana_mate_whatsnew.php has a
reference to `lsb_release -u` which should allegedly return trusty.

I did just remove gnucash, install getdeb, and do the same apt-get
update and apt-get install gnucash earlier today successfully, though
I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 rather than Mint.

I know this probably doesn't help at all with solving your problem but
hopefully it reduces your confusion about rebecca a little.
