debian/{templates,microcode.ctl.config}: Default to downloading microcode,
and reduce the debconf priority on this question to medium. (LP: #604257)
The package has no rdeps and will only be installed by users wanting this
feature.

[ Daniel J Blueman ]
* Rewrote update-intel-microcode script to robustly parse and
  download updated microcode correctly (LP: #569488)

[ Stefano Rivera ]
* update-intel-microcode: Do not eval() code from the Internet, and use
  Python's built in tarfile library rather than a temporary directory.
* debian/microcode.ctl.init: Depend on $remote_fs.

  (from 2008-09-10) (Closes: #498975, #498779)

New upstream release (new microcode)

3. By Giacomo Catenazzi on 2004-11-03

* New upstream release:
    microcode: 12Oct2004
    support for x86_64
    removed unneeded -i option
* Small English correction (closes: #272509)
* people.debian.org is no more readable by IP, so I changed it
  with the correct URL. The disavantage on not-internet connected
  machines: now we have an extra timeout trying to resolve
  the name, anyway maximun: 20 seconds.
