amd64-microcode, version number, no-dsa



Dear LTS team,

I am still preparing an update for amd64-microcode for Jessie to fix
CVE-2017-5715. Security team marked this issue as no-dsa for Stretch
[1], it can be fixed through next point release.

For Jessie I am not able to use now the package version
3.20181128.1~deb8u1, because it is higher than the current Stretch
version 3.20160316.3, so upgrade would not be possible in the meantime.

Thus I'm asking for an advice:

  * May I set the version number for this update as
2.20160316.1+really3.20181128.1~deb8u1? After the next Stretch point
release I can reupload it with the version number 3.20181128.1~deb8u1.
Or there are better alternatives?

  * Package is non-free, should the amd64 and i386 binary packages both
be uploaded?
