48 hours really isn't very long to wait before chasing. It's a little
quick when we're not frozen tbh and at low urgency the package won't be
eligible to migrate for another week in any case.

That sounds okay, although by your own admission it's _not_ the only
change:

I must admit to being a little confused as to why tpm2deb.cfg is shipped
in the source package if it's not used. The call to dh_lintian should
certainly be mentioned in the changelog; it's a material change to the
packaging.
However, the source package appears to already handle binary lintian
overrides by its own method and I don't think it's worth the build or
review time just to fix the changelog so have unblocked the package.
I'd ask that you please bear the above comments in mind for future
uploads.
