When gr-audio was individual top-level directories, doing the above
was trivial, and in fact, was how it was done for the old debian
packages in 3.2.

How do you see making this work now?

No, I think it would be development work that could happen after the
3.6.0 release, either on master as part of 3.6.1, or on the new 3.7
next branch, depending on the  intrusiveness of the solution.
