Currently the tpm2deb scripts do NOT AT ALL use the LocalTPM tpm files.

The tpm data for building the source pakcages are loaded from tpm.data
which contains a dump of the tpm data from 2005 CD, and when building
the binary package the data is loaded from the tpm files as included in
the orig.tar.gz.

I *REALLY* have to think about how to incorporate your scripts into the
packages. I guess best will be to create this files locally and install
them as is into the packages, so not rely on dynamic copyright creation
and source-build time NOR at bin-build time.

Unfortunately I have -2 in testing phase without all this. This is
planned for -3 where more complete license information should be
included listing all files.


Best wishes

Norbert
