Make UHD an optional dependency #48
Description
It should check whether or not its installed like it does with doxygen and ignore it if it's not there. I'm using different hardware and UHD has a dependency of GNURadio 3.8.1 whereas I'm using a higher version so it conflicts on the install.
Here's the results from apt-get install python3-UHD:

The UHD packages make no sense in terms of their dependencies - like why is Python2 required on a package called python3-UHD?
Conclusion: just make UHD optional so other products can be used instead.
