Which setting has changed in initramfs-tools, so initrd images are now almost 4 times bigger than before?
tom@ideapada:/var/log/apt$ cd /boot
tom@ideapada:/boot$ ls -l initrd*

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 238511041 Jul 19 09:48 initrd.img-6.9.9-amd64
tom@ideapada:/boot$ df -k /boot

/boot is followed by a lvm thing on a luks encrypted /dev/sda6.
There is no proper gui for getting the extra space for a bigger /boot.
Shrink the root fs, the lvm containing the root, shrink the crypted device and than move it to the right.
I have a lot of boxes set up with 600mb /boot partition.
For more than 15 years this was good enough.
