    physical tpm ACLs.  LP: #1949060.
  * Add missing adduser dependency to swtpm-tools.
  * Add missing debhelper token to swtpm-tools.postinst.

Title:
  Please create swtpm user/group

Status in swtpm package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  As outlined in bug 1948880 the intention is to utilize the user
  "swtpm" instead of "tss" to avoid too much permissions of "tss" which
  is in use in other places.

  But I realized that dependencies using swtpm would mostly be to package "swtpm" and not "swtpm-tools".
  Therefore I'd ask to have package swtpm to establish that user instead of swtpm-tools.

  Furthermore (I'll flag that in the MIR bug 1948748) the postinst uses adduser without a dependency which is Build-Essential but not Essential and therefore needs a dependency.
  Lintian:
    W: swtpm-tools: maintainer-script-needs-depends-on-adduser adduser [control/postinst:18] (does not satisfy adduser)

  And while this will touch postinst, also as heads up:
    W: swtpm source: maintainer-script-lacks-debhelper-token debian/swtpm-tools.postinst
