Title:
linux-image-generic depends on the proprietary amd64-microcode and
intel-microcode
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
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.
