Oh yes, merging v3.5.0rc0 from the various existing
debian branches is not easy.

I gave up on that approach a while ago.

The trendy new way to build GnuRadio is using CMake.
For long term support that seems the way to proceed.

That is why I have UHD packages.
Here be dragons:
http://people.debian.org/~bottoms/#UHD

For my own purposes I have one jumbo Debian source package
that uses the new multiple tarball feature.
uhd_3.3.1.orig.tar.gz
uhd_3.3.1.orig-contrib-images.tar.gz
uhd_3.3.1-1.debian.tar.gz
uhd_3.3.1-1.dsc

uhd_3.3.1.orig.tar.gz can be built from the git tag.
uhd_3.3.1.orig-contrib-images.tar.gz is the contrib part,
generated binary files downloaded from 
http://files.ettus.com/uhd_releases/003_003_001/images-only/UHD-images-003.003.001.tar.gz
(it can be argued that this is not a valid source tarball.)

Perhaps I can package a free installer script that fetches
the compiled images into the free UHD package.

Or, perhaps I should have two separate source packages, one
free, and one contrib. Both share the uhd_3.3.1.orig.tar.gz
source tarball. That may give archive maintainers trouble.
