If guile-1.6 declares, with the consent of the ia64 porters, that ia64 is not supported (either by explicitly excluding it from the architecture list or by adding a test suite that fails at build-time), then it would be appropriate to ask the ftp team to drop the ia64 binaries of gnucash from unstable. The procedure for doing this is to file a bug report against ftp.debian.org.
