Currently, this works for me too. But if the temporary backup
is still stored in /boot, there may be issues in the future
once all the initrd files become bigger.

Unfortunately I need the firmware-nvidia-graphics package.
But I'm wondering how this worked before the 40 MB increase!
There must be lots of things there I actually don't need.
