      * Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #1850752). Remaining changes:
        - initramfs-tools hook (debian/initramfs.hook):
          + Default to 'early' instead of 'auto' when building with
            MODULES=most
          + Do not override preset defaults from auto-exported conf
            snippets loaded by initramfs-tools.
    
    amd64-microcode (3.20191021.1) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * New microcode update packages from AMD upstream:
        + New Microcodes:
          sig 0x00830f10, patch id 0x08301025, 2019-07-11
        + Updated Microcodes:
          sig 0x00800f12, patch id 0x08001250, 2019-04-16
          sig 0x00800f82, patch id 0x0800820d, 2019-04-16

    amd64-microcode (3.20181128.1ubuntu2) eoan; urgency=medium
    
      * Do not override preset defaults from auto-exported conf snippets
        loaded by initramfs-tools. This thus allows other hooks, or
        alternative confdir override the built-in defaults at mkinitramfs
        time. Specifically to support generating installer/golden/bare-metal
        initrds with all microcodes for any hardware.

      * This update avoids regressing sig 0x610f01 processors on systems with
        outdated firmware by adding back exactly the same microcode patch that was

        mitigation for these processors.
