When retrying (apt install -f) and doing df, I could see that this
is the /boot partition that becomes full. It is rather surprising
that zstd writes to this partition.

The biggest files are the initrd.img-* ones, and they take 67 MB
before the firmware upgrade. So 189 MB available for the upgrade
should have been sufficient.
