retitle 863682 jessie-pu: package intel-microcode/3.20170707.1~deb8u1
thanks

Intel released the fixes for Kaby Lake as well, so I am updating this
s-p-u bug for the newer version of the intel-microcode package.

Attached are the new diffs and diffstats.  The reasoning for the stable
update is still the same, so I will quote it below.

Thank you!

As usual, I have removed the noise caused by the binary blob changes
from upstream from the debdiff output for clarity.  The abridged debdiff
is attached.

Full diffstat:
 changelog  |   20 
 debian/changelog   |   68 
 microcode-20161104.dat |61630 -
 microcode-20170707.dat |81602 +
 releasenote|   35 
 5 files changed, 81725 insertions(+), 61630 deletions(-)

Abridged diffstat:
 changelog|   20 
 debian/changelog |   68 +++
 releasenote  |   35 
 3 files changed, 123 insertions(+)

Other than the microcode blob, the changes are only to documentation and
the changelogs.

Please note that the new upstream "releasenote" file is not going to be
shipped in the binary packages, since it has way too much incorrect
information.  It is present only in the source package.

Thank you!
