Ok. Could you please backport v0.113 to wheezy-backports, then? I will
have to prepare both a stable update (without early fw support) and a wheezy
backport (with early fw support) of intel-microcode.
I could also upload an initramfs-tools v0.113 backport to wheezy-backports
if you're too busy right now, but it is always best when the maintainer does
a backport, instead of some other DD...
