You'll need to fix the initramfs-tools version dependency on the microcode patches (i.e. append a ~ to the minimum version). Please do that in unstable as well as wheezy-backports. There should be no changes to make in initramfs-tools, other than adding a changelog entry. Please test git://git.debian.org/git/kernel/initramfs-tools.git#wheezy-backports with the backported microcode patches, then I can upload if you confirm that the combination works.
