[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1181145@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package linux-firmware - 1.79.16

---------------
linux-firmware (1.79.16) precise; urgency=medium

  * 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.
