Public bug reported:
The intel-microcode postinst script prints this text to standard error
intel-microcode: microcode will be updated at next boot
but tools like unattended-upgrades don't parse stderr, they expect a
/run/reboot-required to exist to tell them that a reboot is needed to
complete the update.
Can you fix the postinst script to touch /run/reboot-required?
