You have been subscribed to a public bug:
I'm using Ubuntu 18.10 dev with linux-image-generic 4.17.0.5.8 and the
package depends on amd64-microcode and intel-microcode which are
proprietary if I'm not wrong. Normally the kernel should run without any
microcode updates so it might make sense to move amd64-microcode and
intel-microcode from Depends to Recommends to allow users staying on the
linux-image-generic metapackage without being required to install
proprietary software.
** Affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu)
