Sorry for being a bit unclear. The binary package is gnucash-common,
built from the source package gnucash. You are listed as the maintainer
of the package on

 http://packages.debian.org/unstable/gnome/gnucash-common

The file in question is

 /usr/share/gnome/apps/Applications/gnucash.desktop

It should be placed in /usr/share/applications.

I have verified this against Debian Sid, using packages.debian.org, as
well.

I suggest using a .desktop file similar to the following:

        [Desktop Entry]
        Encoding=UTF-8
        Name=GnuCash
        Comment=GnuCash Personal Finance
        Exec=gnucash
        Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/gnucash/gnucash-icon.png
        Terminal=false
        Type=Application
        Categories=GNOME;Application;Office;

/M
