Public bug reported:
see lp:1561643 for the previous 3-year discussion having resulted in a
(temporary) fix.
Currently, running Ubuntu 21.04 Hirsute, I noticed +60MB growth in initrd files
again.
Doing lsinitramfs on these images, I found that they are happily stuffed with
i915 and amdgpu modules, as well as with netronome nic firmwares which of
course everyone surely needs, making initrd of 73 MB.
That's with MODULES=dep and FRAMEBUFFER=n in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
this does not happen with Ubuntu 20.04, with same options in initramfs.conf.
On my Focal system, initrd images have size of 12MB, with largest components
being .so libraries and lvm executable.
So, I would conclude that initramfs-tools reintroduced this misbehavior
after 20.04 release but in some different way. Now trying to compare
/usr/share/initramfs-tools content between 20.04 and 21.04. Probably the
title of this bug will need to be changed. As I am not allowed to reopen
lp:1561643 , I am creating a new bug.
