Please sync iucode-tool 1.0.3-1 (multiverse) from Debian unstable
(contrib)

Changelog entries since current 14.10 version 1.0.2-1:

iucode-tool (1.0.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release
    + Properly check microcode metadata date to be valid packed BCD in
      strict mode
    + Do not assume a non-zero microcode Total Size field to be valid, it
      is valid only when the Data Size field is non-zero.  Fortunately,
      Intel always set reserved fields to zero on released microcode, so
      this bug was never (and is unlikely to ever be) triggered
    + Linux kernel bug workaround: when generating the early initramfs
      archive, append NULs to the microcode data file name to pad the
      start of the microcode data inside the initramfs archive to a
      16-byte boundary.  Document this issue on the manpage, the
      workaround is only effective if the start of our early initramfs
      cpio segment is 16-byte aligned in the final initramfs archive
    + Fix several cosmetic and minor code issues
    + Manpage fixes and enhancements
  * debian/control: add debian/master branch information to Vcs-Git field
  * debian/control: bump standards-version to 3.9.5
