No. The quilt format is not suitable for this package. It can be made to
work, but it will result in an strictly worse source package.
I would have to switch to multi-upstream tarballs, and end up with a worse
result: larger, and harder to handle. We need decent control of symlinks, and
binary data for this package to avoid possible issues, diff/patch/quilt is
*not* the appropriate tool.
Also, what we ship in intel-microcode is *not* what upstream ships, it is a
curated, expanded version of the microcode data set using several past packages
to still update older, EOLd processors (and we sometimes disable some microcode
updates as well).
