You can choose to install the report as a custom report as explained in our 
wiki:
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports

The whole assumption here is these reports are rarely used and unmaintained. 
We don't want to completely remove them as they can serve as examples of what 
can be done with the report system, but at the same time we want to remove 
clutter from the menus. So they stick around as development examples, not as 
ready to use reports.

Regards,

Geert
