The radcli package supercedes the radiusclient and freeradius-client
packages

If one of those other packages was on the box before, radcli
deliberately takes a copy of the config files from that package and
copies them to /etc/radcli

This is done by the preinst script:

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-voip/radcli.git/tree/debian/libradcli4.preinst?h=debian/sid

before it unpacks the sample files distributed with radcli.

This is being done to ensure that working configurations continue to
work after a dist-upgrade.

E.g. if somebody is using asterisk+freeradius-client on jessie and they
dist-upgrade to stretch, they will get asterisk+radcli.  If we didn't
have this preisnt script, their Asterisk service would almost certainly
not work after the upgrade.

Maybe the bug should be downgraded or closed.
