Guided partition sizes are not defined in partman-crypto but partman-auto.
With file sizes of 250MB for initrd.img-6.9.9-amd64 this is too small,
and even with initrd.img-6.9.8-amd64 at 80MB this can hardly keep more
than 3 kernel versions at once.
Such sizes are excessive and caused by a bug in initramfs-tools 0.142
which duplicates firmware files, fixed in 0.143 (experimental). See

Please consider raising the default size for this partition.
