I'm not sure how feasible retesting loading of the firmware is for the 8
SRUs. We tested that once on cosmic per vendor, so given that the rest
is equal, just ensuring it's there is probably fine.

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  Initramfs for MODULES=most should build with all microcodes installed
  
  [Test case]
  Have both amd64-microcode and intel-microcode installed, and MODULES=most 
set. Test generated initramfs in both amd64 and intel machines and make sure 
the microcodes load.
  
+ If that's not feasible, we should at least run update-initramfs with -v
+ and ensure that it says the right things:
+ 
+ intel-microcode: adding microcode for either all or selected Intel processor 
models
+ [long list of microcodes]
+ 
+ and that lsinitramfs tells us about
+ 
+ kernel/x86/microcode/AuthenticAMD.bin
+ 
+ 
  [Regression potential]
  Some tools will fail to understand the initramfs, as it now has two cpio 
archives prepended (e.g. lsinitramfs skips intel microcode archive, as seen in 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=886424)
