[Bug 2142534] Re: [FFE] Please merge 0.7 into resolute

[Skia]

To clarify, I understand some changes are needed in tpm2-tss as well,
but I'm failing to clearly understand the current state of thing. Is LP:
#1997259 fixed by syncing both tpm-udev and tpm2-tss?

Title:
  [FFE] Please merge 0.7 into resolute

Status in tpm-udev package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in tpm-udev source package in Resolute:
  New

Bug description:
  ## FFE ##
  Packaging changes that simplify the package and make it more streamlined. Crucially, it removes duplication of user/group creation via manual scripts, and relies on tpm2-tss to do it instead. This needs to go in tandem with a similar packaging update in tpm2-tss.
  Given code is being removed, rather than added, and it's duplicated functionality, risk of regressions is very low.
  This will incidentally fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tpm-udev/+bug/1900087

  There is no delta from Ubuntu, it's a straight rebuild, so it's a very
  easy change to make. Diff from 0.6 to 0.7 in Debian:
