[Bug 1359179] Re: Sync iucode-tool 1.0.3-1 (multiverse) from Debian unstable (contrib)

[dino99]

Also apply for my other 'pentium 4'  used with Precise (intel-
microcode); hopes to get an upgrade here too.

Title:
  Sync iucode-tool 1.0.3-1 (multiverse) from Debian unstable (contrib)

Status in “iucode-tool” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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
