I am using the getdeb.net repository and was ecstatic to see 2.6.11 updated
this morning on my Trusty 14.04 LTS systems. They often have absolutely
up-to-date versions for the most current Ubuntu releases (in this case
that's GnuCash 2.6.11 for Ubuntu 15.10 and 14.04).

And a brief plug for the getdeb volunteers: if you appreciate getdeb.net
(like I do), please consider making a donation to defray their server
expenses (as I have).
