I can confirm that 0.143 solve this issue

case 1) initramfs-tools 0.142, no firmware-nvidia-graphics

$ ls -lh /boot/efi/xxxx/6.9.6/initrd.img-6.9.6
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 74M 2024-07-22 22:43 /boot/efi/xxxx/6.9.6/initrd.img-6.9.6
                        ^^^


case 2) initramfs-tools 0.142, firmware-nvidia-graphics 20240610-1 installed

$ sudo apt install firmware-nvidia-graphics
$ sudo update-initramfs -k 6.9.6 -u
$ ls -lh /boot/efi/xxxx/6.9.6/initrd.img-6.9.6
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 244M 2024-07-24 18:51 /boot/efi/xxxx/6.9.6/initrd.img-6.9.6
                        ^^^^

case 3) initramfs-tools-* 0.143, firmware-nvidia-graphics 20240610-1 installed

$ ls -lh /boot/efi/xxxx/6.9.6/initrd.img-6.9.6
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 114M 2024-07-24 18:56 /boot/efi/xxxx/6.9.6/initrd.img-6.9.6
                        ^^^^

           0.143     0.142          nvidia blob            initrd size
           ======    =====          ===========            ===========
case 1)               X                                       74M
case 2)               X                X                     244M
case 3)      X                         X                     114M

size of initrd of case 3) is bigger that the size of initrd of case 1), but it is expected
because in case 1) I don't have the nvidia binary at all. However case 3) is half of the
case 2), and this is right because I have the nvidia binary but I don't have the multiple
copy in the initrd.

To be fair you wrote:

)  There was a relatively recent upload of initramfs-tools 0.143 to
) *Experimental* and I'm curious if that would help in this case.

So it was not really clear that it was a solution; it seemed that it *could* be
a possible solution; this to explain why nobody care it too much.

Anyhow, 0.143 solve this issue.
