Hi,

The upstream version number should be 0.7.0~rc2 with a tilde instead of
a hyphen to ensure proper ordering (as Lintian warns about).  To do such
transformations automatically, put something like this in the watch file:

uversionmangle=s/(\d)[_\.\-\+]?((RC|rc|pre|dev|beta|alpha)\d*)$/$1~$2/

Why do you deviate from the usual libswtpm-dev/libswtpm0 package names?
Including the SO version in the package name enables installing
incompatible versions side-by-side, which is useful.

Also, shipping static libraries (like libswtpm_libtpms.a) is generally
recommended against in Debian.  Does this package warrant it?

Why do you put swtpm-create-tpmca, swtpm-create-user-config-files and
swtpm-localca into /usr/share/swtpm instead of /usr/bin?  (This emits
several Lintian information tags.)

Thanks for you work!
