Bug Description

For Ubuntu 18.04 recently (since kernel 4.15.0.23) new dependencies have been added from linux-image-generic to intel-microcode and amd64-microcode.

Problem with that is that at least intel-microcode is not compatible with all hardware:
For my good old Acer Travelmate 292 (Pentium M Machine), the intel-microcode package breaks the suspend-to-ram mode: On wakeup system is re-booting completely, when this package is installed.

Therefore I'd like to request to change this hard dependency to just a recommended one, such that I can easily uninstall intel-microcode again.
