[Bug 1738272] Re: microcode packages, like firmware packages, should be in main

[Christian Ehrhardt ]

FYI
There was a request on IRC to also promote firmware-sof
Moving that here to have an auditable trail why things were changed - also I guess we'd want to have an explicit ack by the kernel team that this is the very same case.

>From #ubuntu-release
[11:53] <luis220413> ubuntu-archive: Please move the firmware-sof source package to main to be consistent with linux-firmware. See bug
[11:53] <luis220413> See bug 1738272

Even if all other special firmware cases apply this still would need an owning team.
http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/m-r-package-team-mapping.html lists kernel-packages as the owner, so that aspect should be fine indeed.

@Kernel Team - or most likely @apw - do you agree and want this promoted
as maintained by the kernel team?

@Luis:
This isn't listed in https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/component-mismatches-proposed.html so there would need to be a dependency or seed change to hold it in main.
Do you know (if not coordinate with the kernel team please) where this will be done before being promoted? [Without that it would again fall out of main in the next few hours after promotion]
