Bug Description
Debian installer's initrd.gz on Fuel ISO is not compressed, and contains (a broken) chunk of itself:
$ file /mnt/ubuntu/
/mnt/ubuntu/
$ cpio --list < /mnt/ubuntu/
initrd.gz
Thus initrd (or rather initramfs) is more than 2x larger than it should have been:
$ ls -sh /mnt/ubuntu/
55M /mnt/ubuntu/
The original initrd is:
$ ls -hs local_mirror/
20M local_mirror/
This slows down the provisioning (2x more data should be transferred over the network) for no good reason and puts the extra load on the master node.
