That depends on what firmware(?) you've got installed. Mine are half
that size:
hobbit:~$ ls -l /boot/initrd.img-6.1*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 45541396 May 29 18:34 /boot/initrd.img-6.1.0-37-amd64
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 45779454 Aug 13 09:10 /boot/initrd.img-6.1.0-38-amd64
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 51542780 Aug 13 09:24 /boot/initrd.img-6.12.41+deb13-amd64
