  * Remove amd64-microcode for licensing reasons.
    The amd64 microcode is not suitable for packaging in main since
    the license does not allow modification or disassembly. Install
    the multiverse package amd64-microcode instead which also contains
    initramfs hooks.

    Quote from the release note:
      "This firmware is supported starting 3.13 kernel.
      We have a here quite a few bug fixes with a few new features.
      Most of the improvements concern P2P client and GO modes."
    This does update existing firmware files, but they are only used by
    linux 3.13+ (Trusty LTS) which has yet to be released.
