nvidia vs nouveau driver and initrd.* size

I have several Debian/unstable machines, all with a Nvidia card. On one of them, due to a bug in nouveau in the past, I use the proprietary nvidia driver: libnvidia-legacy-390xx-* packages. And the initrd size is reasonable: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 66937544 2024-07-30 11:27:32 initrd.img-6.9.12
