I had a look, unfortunately I think this is then expected. The
majority of changes are from the firmware-nvidia-graphics package, and
the package itself increased from 20250410-2 to 20250808-1
substantially due to more firmare added:

$ dpkg-deb -f firmware-nvidia-graphics_20250410-2_all.deb Installed-Size
64591
$ dpkg-deb -f firmware-nvidia-graphics_20250808-1_all.deb Installed-Size
156283

For instance the added
usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/tu102/gsp/gsp-570.144.bin is 28M in size.
Attached the diff I generated with some pre-subistitution for easier
comparision.

If you might not need firmware-nvidia-graphics, then removing it might
be an option an regenerating the initramfs.

Regards,
Salvatore
