Package: amd64-microcode Version: 2.20131007.1+really20130710.1 Severity: wishlist
Hi, I am part of the people working on Tails [1], a Debian Live system. We want to provide microcodes updates at boot time for as many CPU:s as possible. [1] https://tails.boum.org/ As far as I understand it, the current amd64-microcode initramfs-tools hook only embeds the AMD microcodes into the initramfs image if the CPU seen at initramfs build time is an AMD one. Obviously, in the case of a Live system, the CPU used at the time the ISO is built is irrelevant wrt. the CPU that actual end-users will be running the system on. On the other hand, the intel-microcode hook allows to disable auto-detection, and to force inclusion of all microcode updates. It would be awesome, for users of Debian Live systems who happen to have AMD CPU:s, if amd64-microcode allowed the same. Thanks for maintaining amd64-microcode in Debian!
