unicorn:~$ lsinitrd /boot/initrd.img-5.10.0-8-amd64 | wc -l
1646
unicorn:~$ lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-5.10.0-8-amd64 | wc -l

If only searching whether a string is contained therein, or wanting a list,
it can be simpler:

# uname -v
#1 SMP Debian 5.10.46-3 (2021-07-28)
# which lsinitrd
/usr/bin/lsinitrd
# apt-file search /usr/bin/lsinitrd
dracut-core: /usr/bin/lsinitrd
# lsinitrd /initrd.img | wc -l
455

Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion,
based on faith, not based on science.
