Hi Debora,

Thanks for your contribution.
As you write "Updated ..." in your RFS and looking at README.Debian, I suppose 
you know this package already exists in Debian with source name tss2. Please do 
not rename the source package. The bug that you want to resolve has the number 
#971758. For the version change you would have to use an epoch (Version 1:1.6.0-1).

Cheers,
Bastian
