While this will reduce this initrd size, you should also mention the
consequences of doing this:

So... Here's another question:
Why is the default size of /boot, as created by the installer, so small? Disk
(even SSD) is cheap enough these days that the default size could be as much as
a GB without great pain.
Has this been thought about by the PTBs? Was there a discussion of possibly

Long ago I stopped bothering with a separate /boot, and behold, I yet

If you really want a bastion filesystem for booting, I suggest it

By creating a reliable backup and reformatting the disk to
the new format. I've never found it to be cost-effective
to try anything else.

True, but I wouldn't have learned half so much and wouldn't have had a third so
much had so much fun learning it!
Stay safe!

from that from now on.

There is no easy way. If you boot into a live/rescue environment and

I recently did a "apt update ; apt upgrade" and it died for lack of space in
/boot when trying to install the latest kernel.
I purged a couple of old kernel packages (still present in the 'stable' repo,
so they weren't obsolete) to make enough space and tried again. Worked this
time, but I
