2012-06-29 Thread Henrique de Moraes Holschuh
Meanwhile, the amd64-microcode package made it to unstable. I'll work with that for the next days, and see what can be done that way, which is easier and faster on my end. We can migrate it to firmware-nonfree later. It shouldn't be a problem, since it will be multiarch-foreign anyway, regardles
