Well, at least you can't complain about that in this case - the new libltdl
had its SONAME upgraded, which caused the package to change correspondingly.

This is not a critical issue, it's just a matter of convenience. Another
method to install the lenny-backports freeradius on karmic is just to fetch
the old package from http://packages.debian.org/stable/libltdl3 and install
it with dpkg. It's inconvenient only because you need to fetch it manually,
which is something apt normally does.
