    The permissions on the config file containing the radius shared secret
    are world readable...

    The package should install the file 0600 and, to fix this, change the permissions in the preinst if there is an existing world-readable file.

    As long as updates are being made, it would be nice if the comments
    didn't refer to an incorrect filename.

    thanks for noticing the problem. Please feel free to NMU, because i am traveling and i won't be able to upload a tested fix before monday, and definetely i don't like to do blind untested uploads.
