initrd.img 6x are too large, will likely cause failure with lack of space in /boot in next kernel updates.
The initrd.img-6.x.0-1-librem5 with osk-sdl for kernels 6.2.0-1, 6.3.0-1 and 6.4.0-1 now use 96,1 MB of space each.
The /boot partition on the Librem 5 has 451 MB of space.
With the added vmlinuz taking 25 MB each, that means that 3 kernels (3x 96,1 MB) in the /boot partition will take up about 363 MB of space in the boot partiton. Leaving less than 100 MB free for the kernel update.
That will not be sufficient for the next Kernel update to be completed successfully.because the imitrd and vmlinuz for an update now take more than 100MB combined.
And will make most likely that the next kernel update we release to fail to complete on users devices.

apt from a failed update due to lack of space today. Had to remove the oldest kernel and run the update a second time to fix this.
