What is in your /etc/apt/preferences file?
What is the relative versions shown here:
$ apt-cache policy gnucash
Because backports is set up with a repository pinning of
"NotAutomatic: yes" in the Release file it shouldn't be wanting to
upgrade your existing packages automatically. Here is a reference.
Personally I set up /etc/apt/preferences as specified.
http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/#index3h2
But if gnucash is newer than Lenny but older than backports then it
will fall into the case where it will want to upgrade to the newer
version in backports.
