There's one major issue with the Debian freeradius package -- any module
that requires hooks to OpenSSL is not included due to some legal issue. 
This includes eap_tls, eap_ttls, eap_peap, etc.

The compile-from-source solution works well -- you just need to apt-get
install these:
libmysqlclient14-dev
libldap2-dev (if you want LDAP support)
libssl-dev

HTH,
