Build-Depends: libltdl3-dev, libofx-dev (>= 1:0.8.0-8), ofx (>= 1:0.8.0-8), libfinance-quote-perl, guile-1.6-slib, guile-1.6-dev, m4, gettext, slib (>= 3a2-5), debhelper (>= 4.2.16), zlib1g-dev, libjpeg62-dev, liborbit-dev, libungif4-dev, libxml-parser-perl, x11-common, libglib2.0-dev (>= 2.4.7), libxml2-dev (>= 2.4.16), libbonobo2-dev (>= 2.0.0), libgnomevfs2-dev (>= 2.2.0), libgnomevfs2-extra (>= 2.2.0), libgtk2.0-dev (>= 2.4.13), libglade2-dev (>= 2.3.6), libgnomeprint2.2-dev (>= 2.8.0), libart-2.0-dev (>= 2.3.11), libgconf2-dev, libgnomeui-dev (>= 2.0.0), libgsf-gnome-1-dev (>= 1.12.2), libpango1.0-dev (>= 1.6.0), libgtkhtml3.8-dev, gconf2, libgoffice-0-5-dev, dpkg-dev (>= 1.13.19), imagemagick, swig, quilt

I believe that any build-depend "can" be removed but we should be very sure that no important dependencies are removed. The actual debian maintainer for gnucash is thomas bushnell <email address hidden> .
