There are several things you can try:
* Remove outdated kernel packages with "apt autoremove"
* Expand the /boot partition (but it seems you already found this is
impossible)
* Exclude unneeded modules from the initramfs:
- Change the MODULES setting in /etc/initramfs-tools/initrams.conf
to MODULES=dep
- Run "update-initramfs -u"
If you do this, the disk probably won't be bootable if you move it to
another computer.
* Compress the initramfs harder:
- Change the COMPRESS setting in initramfs.conf to COMPRESS=xz
This will make kernel/initramfs updates very slow, though.
