It's an update of their original paper on trusted computing

https://www.bsi.bund.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/DE/BSI/Siche...

The main changes are actually adding reference to secure boot, the section on complete control by device owners, the section on Freedom to Decide and a couple of other things.

Overall, I think it's quite considered. It has been brewing for quite a long period of time (it was hoped that this would be published over a year ago when the Secure Boot problems were just beginning)
