Thanks, you are spot on. After re-adding the dh_install command, most of
the errors vanish. Interestingly enough, this one remains:

dh_missing --fail-missing
dh_missing: usr/lib/freeradius/rlm_sql_freetds.so exists in debian/tmp but
is not installed to anywhere
The following debhelper tools have reported what they installed
* dh_install
* dh_installman
If the missing files are installed by another tool, please file a bug
against it
For a short-term work-around: Add the files to debian/not-installed
dh_missing: missing files, aborting

I’ve added it to debian/freeradius.install and updated the branch.

The only remaining issue as far as the freeradius packaging is concerned is
dh_installdocs not yet reporting which files it installs — hence the build
fails at
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-freeradius/freeradius.git/commit/?h=dh_missing&id=afbb47b0f8646de9fc116d8f494608ef4cef6a90

Either way, what you have in the dh_missing branch right now is already
useful :).
