All kernels need to support reading the compressed firmware files (even after partial upgrades). See bug #2028550 for the kernel side.

linux-firmware needs two patches to correctly produce compressed firmware files:

* https://lore.kernel.org<email address hidden>/T/#u
* https://lore.kernel.org<email address hidden>/T/#u

Attached a tested debdiff that could be uploaded once following points are addressed:
* support for zstd compressed firmware files in initramfs-tools (should be in 0.142ubuntu8)
* support for zstd compressed firmware in all relevant kernels (see bug #2028550)
* a "Breaks: initramfs-tools (<< 0.142ubuntu8~)" for the final uploaded version should be added
