Well, I heard of it. But I am hesitating to learn another tool.
But hey, there is a Debian Package, so I will have a look at it.
This sentence from the info file looks promising:

,---- [Ledger Info File: 1. Introduction
|  As you keep your ledger, you are recording information about your
| life and habits, and sometimes that information can start telling you
| things you aren't aware of.  Such is the aim of all good accounting
| tools.
`----

I just thought this would be way too sophisticated for my simple needs.
Thanks for the tip, I am looking into it ...
