I contacted upstream week or two ago, notifying him about debianized
wifi-radar. He said he would put package on website, but that didn't
happend.

I find wifi-radar.sh useless script. It's used only to start wifi-radar
as root. Instead of runing that script, I created .desktop entry that
will exec 'gksudo wifi-radar'. gksudo is much nicer than runing shell
script. But, you can allways open terminal, and run sudo wifi-radar.
It's same thing.
