Hm, you should be fine -- scipy is a 'soft' requirement for GNU Radio,
meaning some examples use it but it's not required for regular
operations. That said, I'm not sure why you see it when running GRC.
I think gr-trellis might be the culprit here.

You could of course install it (apt-get install python-scipy), it's a
useful thing to have.
