Some other workarounds are:
1) change the compression from the default gzip. I personally use xz and the initrd image works out to be ~30% smaller.
2) change the modules included from "most" to "dep". This reduced the initrd image another 30%.
These options are changed in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf.
