If you're going to diff listings like that, you at least need to pipe
the output through something like
cut --complement -b 43-54 /tmp/initrd.img-4.19.0-9-amd64.out | sed -e
's/4.19.0.9/4.19.0.X/'
to strip the dates and kernel version. This will leave you with the
sizes. If you're looking for missing files, drop the -l, the cut, and
leave the sed.
Thanks for pointing out potential errors.
Yes, I should have nerfed the kernel version. But, I believe date and
time should be retained. I think we can also remove items with size 0:

My previous diff was outputting links in error. I believe these are the
files that have been added or changed:
2020-07-26 22:09:01 root@po ~
# diff lsinitramfs-l-initrd.img-4.9.0-9-amd64.out2
lsinitramfs-l-initrd.img-4.9.0-11-amd64.out2 | egrep '^>' | wc
705 7104 84072
Stripping of everything except the file or link name:
2020-07-26 22:11:53 root@po ~
# perl -ae 'print $F[8], "\n" if $F[8]'
lsinitramfs-l-initrd.img-4.9.0-9-amd64.out2 | sort >
lsinitramfs-l-initrd.img-4.9.0-9-amd64.out3
2020-07-26 22:12:13 root@po ~
# perl -ae 'print $F[8], "\n" if $F[8]'
lsinitramfs-l-initrd.img-4.9.0-11-amd64.out2 | sort >
lsinitramfs-l-initrd.img-4.9.0-11-amd64.out3
It appears that no files have been added or removed:
2020-07-26 22:14:30 root@po ~
# diff -s lsinitramfs-l-initrd.img-4.9.0-9-amd64.out3
lsinitramfs-l-initrd.img-4.9.0-11-amd64.out3
Files lsinitramfs-l-initrd.img-4.9.0-9-amd64.out3 and
lsinitramfs-l-initrd.img-4.9.0-11-amd64.out3 are identical
At this point, I need to put my efforts into a newer desktop distribution.
