OK, that's a fun challenge.  The upstream has changed everything
including the name since the tss2 days

https://github.com/kgoldman/ibmtss

However, it now comes with an autoconf system, so it's pretty easy to
package for debian.  This was my attempt:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:jejb1:TPM/ibmtss

lintian thinks it's pretty much OK apart from some troff warnings
inherited from the upstream man pages.  If it's OK with you, I'm happy
to support it for you.  Or I could ask Ken if he wants to.

Regards,

James
