for some strange reason, removing cryptsetup-initramfs helped me to reduce my initrd size back to 12 MB on Hirsute testing laptop. i915 and amdgpu.ko were gone from initrd.

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.
