Along those lines, I recently took over from Ramakrishnan as the primary maintainer of the GNU Radio packages for Debian, and therefore indirectly for all the Debian-derived distributions that provide GNU Radio (like Ubuntu). Building on the excellent work that he and Steinar had already done, the packaging of the new 3.0 release is cleaner and easier on the end user. Once those packages make it into the world-wide mirror network, installation of GNU Radio for a Debian or Ubuntu user will be as simple as 'apt-get install gnuradio'.
At that point, all the examples in the 'gnuradio-examples' package using the sound card should just work, and plugging in one of Matt's USRP boards will also "just work" as we've hooked the firmware load into the hotplug subsystem.
Lots still to do, but I'm reasonably proud of how well the new packages work.
