GnuCash is not available in testing right now.  At some point the 1.7.x 
release was removed in anticipation of the 1.8.x release.  1.8.x did not 
enter testing due to dependency problems.  The problems have been 
resolved and all packages are ready for testing now, but it's up to the 
package maintainer to bless the release with holy penguin pee.

I believe that the 1.6.x stable release will work if you download and 
manually install the deb package.  Otherwise, check apt-get.org for 
unofficial 1.8.x packages for testing.
