Bug Description
I'm using Ubuntu 18.10 dev with linux-image-generic 4.17.0.5.8 and the package depends on amd64-microcode and intel-microcode which are proprietary if I'm not wrong. Normally the kernel should run without any microcode updates so it might make sense to move amd64-microcode and intel-microcode from Depends to Recommends to allow users staying on the linux-image-generic metapackage without being required to install proprietary software.
