This package is managed upstream in the debian project. I've submitted a patch to the maintainer that adds a freetds-bin package which includes tsql plus bcp and all the other binaries that are included in the freetds source.

You can check the status of this bug/request here:

Note though that the maintainer seems to take the opinion that people should not use tsql but should use sqsh instead. So there's no guarantee the patch will even be accepted. In any case, maybe sqsh suits your needs. On the other hand, if the maintainer doesn't like the patch I may just set up my own little repository people can pull the package from--I've set one up before and it isn't hard.
