I have version 1.52 installed on Ubuntu 22.04LTS... it came as a

Dropped gnucash-devel from the Cc.
The good folks on the GnuCash team will point you to "gnc-fq-update",
which itself is small Perl wrapper script which calls CPAN.

It takes Ubuntu/Canonical some time to update their packages, so they
are usually at least a major release or two behind.
Updating from F::Q v1.52 to v1.54 should be quick using CPAN. But
therein lies the caveat with Perl and CPAN. Occasionally additional
modules or updates to existing ones require compilation of C code. While
the CPAN mechanism will take care of this, it will require a development
environment. At the very least the basic gcc/g++ packages and gmake.
