The source package name is hardly ever exposed to users -- it's the
binary package names that matter (the names for the .deb's).
For example, what user knows that the mysql package is from the
'mysql-dfsg' source package?
But whatever, you can change the source name if you want to, it makes
sense if there are now multiple gnuradio-* source packages.

If your new package supplies the same .deb's as the gnuradio source (and
why shouldn't it?), then this removal will happen semi-automagically.
