This bug was fixed in the package intel-microcode - 1.20120606.v2.2
Sponsored for Henrique de Moraes Holschuh (hmh)
---------------
intel-microcode (1.20120606.v2.2) unstable; urgency=medium
* initramfs: work around initramfs-tools bug #688794.
Use "_" in place of "+-." for the initramfs script name. This works
around a PANIC during boot when the initramfs was created in a system
with noexec $TMPDIR.

sig 0x000206f2, pf mask 0x05, 2012-04-12, rev 0x0036, size 12288
* Remove from the source package some unused upstream microcode bundles,
which were completely superseded by later ones: microcode-20080401.dat,
microcode-20090330.dat, microcode-20090927.dat, microcode-20100209.dat,
microcode-20110428.dat, microcode-20111110.dat.

intel-microcode (1.20120606.6) unstable; urgency=medium
* debian/control: conflicts with microcode.ctl (<< 1.18~0)
microcode.ctl (1.18~0+nmu1) is a transitional package.

intel-microcode (1.20120606.5) unstable; urgency=low
* debian/copyright: correct statement.
* debian/control: use i686 instead of IA32 in package description.

intel-microcode (1.20120606.4) unstable; urgency=low
* README.Debian: mention module-init-tools, not just kmod. This
is useful when backporting to Debian Squeeze.
* initramfs: make sure we modprobe cpuid early.
Provide an /etc/kernel/preinst.d hook to modprobe the cpuid module
before an in-place kernel upgrade makes it impossible to do so at
initramfs rebuild time. This is only done when dev/cpuid is not yet
available, IUCODE_TOOL_SCANCPUS is active, and iucode-tool is
installed. Thanks to Philipp Kern for the report.
* NEWS.Debian: document failures with in-place kernel upgrades

intel-microcode (1.20120606.3) unstable; urgency=low
* initramfs: while creating the initramfs, if we need to iucode_tool
--scan-system, attempt to modprobe cpuid if cpu/cpuid device is missing,
and report an error if it doesn't work. Thanks to Sebastian Andrzej
Siewior for a good suggestion on how to fix it (closes: #683161)
* README.Debian: add "modprobe cpuid" to example
* debian/control: use better Vcs-browser URI that is properly
handled by the current alioth redirector.

intel-microcode (1.20120606.2) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix README.source to reflect that cpu-signatures.txt processing
was moved to the toplevel Makefile
* Update diff-latest-pack.sh to really find iucode_tool

intel-microcode (1.20120606.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Change to ABI 1:
+ Ship binary microcode in /lib/firmware
+ Add initramfs helpers to install and load binary microcode on boot
+ Call update-initramfs on package upgrades and removals
+ Use non-deprecated kernel interface to interact with kernel
(sysfs+fw loader)
* Include microcode for older processors. This should help some
older boxes for which microcode was not being shipped by Intel
anymore but which still have users, with the trade-off that we
will also ship some useless and mostly useless microcode
* Do not ship i686-only microcode in the amd64 binary package. We
still ship all microcode in the i386 binary package, to support
64bit processors running i?86 userspace transparently
* Switch myself to maintainer, and Giacomo to uploader to better
reflect who is responsible for any bugs this could cause...
* Switch to the 3.0 (native) package format as it doesn't make practical
sense to base the source package on the Intel upstream tarball anymore
because we use all past Intel microcode releases as source
+ Use xz to compress the tarball, it does a _much_ better job than
bzip2 and gzip for this package
+ Override lintian warning about switch to native packaging, as it was
done on purpose. It can be removed in the future
* Drop CDBS, switch to classic (less obfuscated/much better documented)
debhelper build
* Switch to debhelper v7, which is good enough for Debian Lenny and later
don't use a newer mode for now, to facilitate backporting
* Document in README.source:
+ this package must be trivial to backport to oldstable and stable
(i.e. Debian Lenny and Debian Squeeze ATM)
+ how to add new upstream microcode packs and microcode overrides
+ other relevant details related to the lack of Intel changelogs
* Build-Depend on iucode-tool to handle binary microcode, merge
microcode packs and overrides, and split into firmware files
* Drop support for microcode.ctl, as it cannot handle binary
microcode or the non-deprecated kernel interface
* Update package short and long descriptions
* Add a NEWS file to explain all the behaviour changes
* Recommend iucode-tool to support optional selective microcode
selection for the initramfs (reduces microcode size greatly)
* Change to priority: standard. This package should be installed in
every Intel-based Debian system, which is unfortunately impossible
since it is non-free, but at least mark it as such
* add debian/diff-latest-pack.sh utility (not shipped in the binary
package) to help produce the "upstream changelogs"
* debian/control: add Vcs-* fields
