Title:
  Trousers cannot start when more than one file matches /dev/tpm*

Status in trousers package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in trousers package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  The init script in /etc/init.d/trousers includes the following test on
  line 32:

  if [ ! -e /dev/tpm* ]

  This will fail whenever the wildcard expansion of /dev/tpm* returns
  more than one result with a message similar to `/etc/init.d/trousers:
  32: [: /dev/tpm0: unexpected operator`.

  On my Surface book I have two files which match /dev/tpm0 and
  /dev/tpmrm0.
