Perhaps the gnucash dependency on g-wrap should only be a
build-dependency?  The description of g-wrap doesn't look like it is
obviously something that gnucash needs at runtime:

Package: g-wrap
Description: scripting interface generator for C
 A tool (and Guile library) for generating function wrappers for
 inter-language calls. It currently only supports generating Guile
 wrappers for C functions.
 .
 G-Wrap takes a set of interface declarations (written in Scheme) and
 wraps the described interface for Guile.

Perhaps gnucash only needs the libgwrap-runtime0 run-time dependency?
