  It creates the certs when building from source.

  When building packages, the build system sets the PACKAGE=y variable, and the certs aren't created.  The certs are therefore not included in the package.

  The file debian/freeradius-config.postinst has a "make" rule to build the certs.  But even that build process only creates the certs if they don't already exist.

  If you want to skip that step, just delete the debian/freeradius-config.postinst file before you build the debian packages.  That way those rules don't be run, and there won't be any certs generated.
