Hmm...

    % l /boot/initrd.img-6.1*
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13453587  7 jui 17:44 /boot/initrd.img-6.12.33+deb13-amd64
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13621466 29 aoû 18:54 /boot/initrd.img-6.12.38+deb13-amd64
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13715054 11 sep 11:22 /boot/initrd.img-6.16.3+deb14-amd64
    %

But yes, I'm using `MODULES=dep` and `COMPRESS=lzma` (tho I don't think
the COMPRESS setting is the source of the discrepancy).
