As soon as radiusclient will cease running autoconf in debian/rules it's
also available from the pkg-voip buildd webspace
(http://pkg-voip.buildserver.net).

Still these changes have a quite hackish air to me. I do agree that
shipping both TLS-enabled and TLS-disabled is probably overdoing the
packaging only because we *can* do it, yet rebuilding half way through
the install target is actually a very bad thing. The policy forces the
install to run as root (or fakeroot) which should usually not do any
compilation (for obvious reasons). It's meant to only move precompiled
binaries into place for wrapping up the debs afterwards. Thus, if we
need to provide both TLS-enabled and TLS-disabled we will need to
compile this in two namespaces (read two subdirs) and then run the
install target on these two dirs without the recompile.

So, Daniel, is it an option to only ship the TLS-enabled version? Will
anything seriously break that cannot be switched off by a proper
config-file option? For me, I'm positive about shipping only the
TLS-enabled binaries with a TLS-disabled config leaving the user to
decide and enable whatever he feels most convenient with.

Objections?
