radcli is also in universe in Ubuntu.

I don't think Ubuntu has ever shipped a version of this package with support for check_radius, has it? In any case, this is a deliberate decision to do with the main/universe split, not some accidental degradation of package quality.

It is possible to organise building check_radius but placing it in a separate "universe" binary package (say monitoring-plugins-extras) that remains in universe. Then users would be able to opt in to that.
