Could a Lenny upgrade break GnuCash 2.2.6-2?

The version of GnuCash provided with Lenny is 2.2.6-2, maintained by
Thomas Bushnell. I have been using this GnuCash version for two years,
but after a Lenny upgrade I did yesterday it would no longer load.
Included in that upgrade was replacement of libglib2.0-0 version 2.16.0
to version 2.22.4-1 from Lenny-backports. While GnuCash 2.2.6-2 calls
for libglib2.0-0 equal to or higher than 2.16.0 -- the version from the
Lenny repository -- it is possible that 2.22.4 could be too advanced for
GnuCash 2.2.6-2?
As I see it I have two options:
1. Reinstall the 2.16.0 version of libglib2.0-0, to see whether
GnuCash will install again; or
2. Install the latest stable version of GnuCash -- 2.2.9 -- to see
whether it will deign to run with version 2.22.4-1 of libglib2.0-0.
The disadvantages of (1) are that it may break other packages which now
require libglib2.0-0 2.22.4-1 after the upgrade, and that I would have
to learn how to replace a higher version of a package with a lower one
without having aptitude remove all other packages which depend on
libglib2.0-0.
The disadvantage of (2) is that as GnuCash 2.2.9 is apparently only
available in source form, and I do not (yet?) know how to compile.
I would appreciate comments, advice, etc. Also, does anybody know
whether GnuCash 2.2.9 is available compiled as a Debian Lenny package?
