Bug Description
Discovered on an image upgraded from jammy to noble:
jammy's boot partition is a mere 256MB. This was fine when the initrd was relatively minimal, as was the case with the split linux-modules-
This won't affect new noble installs where the boot partition is an expanded 512MB, but there's no easy way to resize the boot partition on upgraded systems.
Investigating the content of the new initrd, at least 40MB of it is taken up with binary blobs for nvidia graphics cards which probably aren't that useful on a Pi (unless your name is Jeff Geerling). There's no mechanism for exclusion of modules, so we should add an initramfs-tools hook to ubuntu-
