[Bug 2126916] [NEW] [DEP-8] Test for GenuineIntel.bin does not match reality

[Stefan Bader]

Public bug reported:

In intel-microcode (3.20250211.1ubuntu1) the following change is listed:

   - debian/tests/initramfs: update test for location of GenuineIntel.bin
      since in Ubuntu this lives under the cpio2 initramfs so test for
      its presence in any cpio

However the full dump of the initramfs[1] shows that this does not match
reality:

700s initramfs/early2/kernel/x86/microcode/GenuineIntel.bin
700s initramfs/early
700s initramfs/early/kernel
700s initramfs/early/kernel/x86
700s initramfs/early/kernel/x86/microcode
700s initramfs/early/kernel/x86/microcode/AuthenticAMD.bin
700s + test -e 'initramfs/cpio*/kernel/x86/microcode/GenuineIntel.bin'

Either the file is placed incorrectly or the test is not correct.
Automated testing fails since this change.
