David,

Would you run:

apt-cache policy freeradius

?

The config files do get placed in /etc/freeradius, so there was an
error somewhere along the line during your install.

There are a truck-load of ways to reinstall packages (under Debian.)
You could also try that, too. apt logs are kept in /var/log/apt.
Perhaps your log messages can shed light on the problem.
