This is a simplified version of the means to work around this problem:

Step 1:
sudo sed -i 's/COMPRESS=lz4/COMPRESS=gzip/g' /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf

Step 2:
sudo update-initramfs -u

Step 3:
Reboot.

Now I wonder whether someone has already tried something other than gzip? 
Because initramfs.conf mentions no less than six options:
# COMPRESS: [ gzip | bzip2 | lz4 | lzma | lzop | xz ]

Apparently gzip is slower than lz4, which might slow the boot process by
several seconds. One of the other alternatives might be faster.

Of course I could test that myself, but I'm too lazy today, so I'm
hoping somebody else has done the footwork already....
