Bug Description
intel-microcode should be installed by default on the bare-metal systems which are running on GenuineIntel CPUs, by the installers.
Similarly other microcode packages for other CPUs brands should be considered for inclusion (e.g. amd64-microcode).
I hope that ubuntu-
This should help with rapid correction of bugs and behaviour of the CPUs in the field.
2017 update, amd64-microcode should also be seeded, as it is useful to have it autoinstallable. In the recent years there have been critical CPU security vulnerabilities which got fixed with microcode updates.
