I made some more investigation on the problem.

The device nvram should own to the group "nvram", instead of root.

Due to this, tpb can only be started as root. In fact, it is working if you run:
sudo tpb -d
but cannot work at startup as it is launched in the X11 session. Te file /etc/init.d/tpb is only to load the nvram module (if not already loaded).

That was for breezy and for previous version of tpb. I have discussed this with siretart and we ended up it is not a bug of tpb but a problem of udev that is not registering /dev/nvram to the nvram group.
