It seems like raduisd-freeradius has been dropped from unstable after you
installed it. Searching for radiusd on a sarge machine gives:
proxy:~# apt-cache search radiusd
radiusd-cistron - Radius server written by Cistron.
radiusd-livingston - Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS)
server
xtradius - Free radius server implementation.
No more freeradius... We use it, but compiled directly because I didn't want
to go unstable on production machines.
Apparently freeradius has been removed from the pool for having "grave"-bugs
for longer that 3 months. There was some discussion on linux.debian.devel
which clarifies this issue; here is the google link:

Unfortunately, nobody seems to have taken package management since.
