What does “would be nice” means concretely, is there anything else than the slightly smaller initramfs image? Personally I'm not against doing what you propose, but the gain has to outweigh potential regressions and at the moment this is not obvious to me. /lib/cryptsetup/askpass is 18kiB and, from a minimal sid VM, removing it from an initramfs image created with default settings (MODULES=most, COMPRESS=gzip) reduces its size by only 0.019% (37342kiB → 37335kiB); doing the same with space-saving settings (MODULES=dep, COMPRESS=xz) gives a 0.026% gain (7646kiB → 7644kiB). -- Guilhem.
