FYI, without this fix, the initrd file was so big that the kernel package could not even be installed on this machine. Now, I can install it, but the initrd file is nevertheless much bigger.
However the issue you describe it was fixed in that bug report, consider that if it wasn't be fixed you'd may expect an initrd file bigger than 200MB. Sorry but have you read that bug report (#1076561)? Some users has posted solutions to make smaller the initrd file:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1076561#10 and https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1076561#48I suggest also to take a look at merged bug reports, usually submitters propose workarounds to the issue, maybe it could help.
