I have two machines with very similar setups: both running Debian i386
testing, they actually come from the same install done years ago
and were cloned at some point in time.

One of the has /boot/initrd.img files that take about 15MB while the
other has /boot/initrd.img files that take about 30MB (in both cases,
they are compressed with `lzma`).

Any idea what this difference could come from (or how I could try and
track it down) and how I could fix the size to be more like 15MB?
