More than 100MB even with `dep`?  Wow!

My crystal ball says it's likely some big blob added to the initrd, like
`intel-microcode` likes to do, tho I've never seen anything that large.

I recommend you try and take your initrd apart with something like
`lsinitramfs` to see where those MBs are spent.
