I don't have the 6.7 kernel anymore, I am on Sid so things move a bit faster

I did notice that .10's initrd is huge, but when .12 came out, the sized was halved

So maybe an experiment gone wrong?

$ ls -lhtr /boot/initrd.img-6.*

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 123M Jul 29 16:49 /boot/initrd.img-6.9.12-amd64
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 123M Aug  6 10:17 /boot/initrd.img-6.10.3-amd64
$

This the default kernel with not extra dkms added at all

This kernel has been pretty awful for me. On my desktop it barfs while
trying to build nvidia support via dkms, with some sort of signing error.

On my laptop, after install I get a 251Mb initrd after install, compared
to the 44Mb initrd of the 6.7.12 kernel it replaced.

Is anyone else that is running debian testing seeing these issues?
