So I understand that the right solution is to move libgncmod-python.so from the gnucash package to the python-gnucash package. This should be easy to implement. Reinhard: since this bug is not serious on Debian, and since Debian is currently frozen, I don't plan to fix this issue in Debian before the release of Jessie. For Ubuntu, and more specifically for having this issue fixed in Ubuntu Vivid 15.04, I encourage you to get in touch with an Ubuntu developer. Thanks to both of you for clarifying the issue, -- .''`.
