I actually did build 3.0.7 packages on a fresh Ubuntu Server 14.04 using http://wiki.freeradius.org/building/Build#Building-Debian-packages but it's the first time I built a package and I really don't know if I did everything right or missed something important. However, the packages are working well on my servers so if it's really that simple I could build and submit the latest stable to debian / ubuntu.
Yes, building the packages for your local system really is that simple. Though submitting them to Debian likely won't be :) Pretty much, as long as you've got the right build packages installed, you can grab the FreeRADIUS source and do freeradius-server$ make deb to build the packages. You do of course need to make sure you rebuild if new security related releases come out, as you won't get updates from the Debian security repository. Thankfully, that's fairly rare.
