This is still true :(

So, until a more workable solution is found, if you need amd64-microcode to 
carry any other data files, please file a bug.  If I am behind an update for 
any reason, please file a bug.  I will see it and act on it. You don't need to 
wait to see if I noticed the upstream update or not, file the bug as soon as 
you're prepared to.

There was a mention about a pending security update of SES firmware in this 
thread.  If this needs an amd64-microcode release and if the ses firmware 
should go into that release, please explicitly say so, preferably in a new bug 
report, so that we can keep this one open until a final decision is done 
whether we should drop amd64-microcode as a separate package or keep it just 
for scripts, or keep the status-quo.
