Bug Description
The intel-microcode postinst script prints this text to standard error
intel-
but tools like unattended-upgrades don't parse stderr, they expect a /run/reboot-
Can you fix the postinst script to touch /run/reboot-

This will be taken care of because the microcode will be pulled in as a dependency on the kernel containing mitigation patches and that will require the reboot.
