I don't see anything broken in britney's handling of this package. 
gnucash-docs doesn't depend on gnucash, so this version of gnucash-docs is
perfectly installable in testing right now -- it's just not co-installable
with gnucash itself, which is not a requirement.

If the package shouldn't have been allowed to progress into testing without
gnucash, the way to ensure this is by either opening a dummy serious bug on
gnucash-docs or by making gnucash-docs depend on the corresponding version
of gnucash instead of merely suggesting it.
