I have/had no plan to make a split for iGPU and dGPU, both would need to 
install the `firmware-amd-graphics` package.

For the 3 scenario's above:
- `intel-microcode` + `firmware-amd-graphics`
- `amd64-microcode` + `firmware-nvidia`*
- `amd64-microcode` + `firmware-amd-graphics`

AMD APU's would fall into scenario 3.

*) If my MR gets accepted, otherwise `firmware-misc-nonfree`

What I want(ed) to prevent is that for scenario 2, the user should NOT have to 
install the `firmware-amd-graphics` package to get the amdtee firmware.

And that seems like a future candidate too for amd64-microcode package.

Excellent, then I think we're all in agreement :)

I'll add the `amdtee` dir to `Files-Excluded` in firmware-nonfree and Henrique 
can add those files to the amd64-microcode package.
