linux-firmware (1.132) utopic; 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.
