Public bug reported: The content of the package is not compiled from sources but rather split from the official one distributed by Intel in a single file. As of today (2016.02.02) the package for Ubuntu 14.04.03 LTS is 2 years old! http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/intel-microcode
I expect this package to be kept up to date in all supported releases of Ubuntu, not just left behind as any binary (that is compiled) outdated package.
