  GenuineIntel

Bug description:
  intel-microcode should be installed by default on the bare-metal
  systems which are running on GenuineIntel CPUs, by the installers.

  Similarly other microcode packages for other CPUs brands should be
  considered for inclusion (e.g. amd64-microcode).

  I hope that ubuntu-drivers-common can gain ability to detect cpu
  series and/or vendors, packages that provide microcodes similarly
  declare support for cpu series and/or vendors, the microcode packages
  are shipped on the CDs in the pool directory, and installed on to the
  target machines as part of the installation.

  This should help with rapid correction of bugs and behaviour of the
  CPUs in the field.
