OK, I RTFM and answered my own question.  To force install of a
specific version of a package, I used
 apt-get install libunicode0=0.4.0-2

This does allow apt-get build-dep to work with gnucash.

However, please keep this bug open--possibly as a wishlist item--about
more informative error messages for this type of problem.

It might also be nice to say something in the how to.

Thanks.
