For now. "-" is common in package names, much more than "_". It *will*
happen again if left as-is.
If anything at all (update-initramfs, documentation or even lintian) either
mentioned or warned about this pitfall, it wouldn't have happened to
intel-microcode and amd64-microcode.
FWIW, I have already uploaded intel-microcode and amd64-microcode packages
that work around the bug, and I will bug the Wheezy release-managers about
it 10 days from now. I definately own them a beer or two already. And I
have to bug the Ubuntu release-managers for a freeze exception there too :-(
