So they are regular files. The code in postinst responsible for enabling
this on upgrades would install symlinks

---
    # Create links for default sites, but only if this is an initial
    # install or an upgrade from before there were links; users may
    # want to remove them...
    if [ -z "$2" ] || dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt 2.0.4+dfsg-4; then
      for site in default inner-tunnel; do
        if test ! -h /etc/freeradius/3.0/sites-enabled/$site && \
           test ! -e /etc/freeradius/3.0/sites-enabled/$site; then
          ln -s ../sites-available/$site
/etc/freeradius/3.0/sites-enabled/$site
        fi
      done
    fi

Have you verified that this is indeed the missing change (readding the
file/symlink fixes the issue)?

Can you show the full output of /var/log/dpkg.log* for the radius
related packages? I can't find any reason why it would delete the old
files in there.
