I never installed Gnuradio using a Debian package but if GRC is working that
means your Gnuradio installation must be complete. Why don't you try running
a few example programs and see if they work.

Run the dial_tone.py in the /usr/local/share/gnuradio/examples/audio
directory. If you want to use GRC to run the example programs then run
dial_tone.grc program in /usr/local/share/gnuradio/examples/grc directory.
If you hear a dial_tone then most probably the installation is fine. If you
have a USRP then you will find examples in 'digital' directory in the same
path.

On another note I don't understand what you mean by "Do I have to build it
from scratch
in grc? Or do I have to still  build it from scratch using the "Build
Guide". If its a debian package then the installation is done by the debian
package manager and what you have at the end is a working installation. GRC
is just a graphical tool and has got nothing to do with installation of
gnuradio. Installation of Gnuradio from the source package is not at all
difficult no matter how new one is to Linux. Just follow the instructions
given here http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/UbuntuInstall and you will find how
easy it is to install. If you still have problems then we can help you.
