CPUs microcodes are in different repositories for each vendor

[Andrea Corbellini]

amd64-microcode is in multiverse because nobody has offered to sponsor it
yet. In order to get a package promoted to main/restricted, you need to
file a Main Inclusion Report as documented here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionProcess and
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMainInclusionRequirements

Try submitting a MIR if you feel it's appropriate.

FWIW, here's the MIR for intel-microcode:
