Spoke too fast. I can't find any bugs on launchpad that relates to
this problem, and there's no way a Stable Release Update would be

users can point me to the bug or, at least, submit it to Launchpad.
I suspect if you ask on the gnucash-user list you could find a number
of people who might be willing to file a bug report for you..
I did a few searches against the email lists and I didn't find any
Ubuntu-specific problems people have reported publicly except possibly
the recent issue of over-maximized GnuCash windows under Ubuntu 9.04
"Jaunty."
If I read the bug report correctly for the patch we're talking about,
it's unrelated. The problems with that patch might only appear in Debian
for what I know (they've got a bug report where one user says he got his
problems with 2.2.6 fixed by installing Ubuntu packages - which have 2
patches more applied than in Debian), and I can't do much about that.
HOWEVER there have been numerous bugfixes since 2.2.6. For various
complaints the first recommendation on the Users list is to try a
later version, and the only options for Ubuntu users have been to
either self-compile or download the package at getdeb.net. I have been
hesitant to recommend folks point to Löic's PPA (upload/download area
for Ubuntu developers) but a PPA might be the simplest workaround
until the Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 (October) release.
Getdeb is a good solution, since they're using the same packages as in
Debian/Ubuntu, and thus would offer the same quality. They also use
Launchpad for bug tracking, like Ubuntu, and are easy to get in touch with.
Possibly Löic would rather most users be advised upgrade from another
place -- maybe a PPA dedicated to GnuCash upgrades (PPAs are offered
free for the asking, but are associated with a specific person or team
defined in Launchpad.net).
Nope. Getdeb, my ppa, all in all you'd get the same package, which will
most probably be the same in Ubuntu for Karmic. Unless you won't wear a
good shoe because someone removed the branding on it, you wouldn't see
the difference. There's no particular dependencies for Gnucash, so
people would only be installing gnucash and gnucash-common anyway.
I'll only concentrate on getting 2.2.9 into Ubuntu 9.10 then.
