Currently I have:

$ sudo du -sh /boot/
110M /boot/
```

Setting xz compression:

```
$ cat /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf | grep COMPRESS
# COMPRESS: [ gzip | bzip2 | lz4 | lzma | lzop | xz ]
COMPRESS=xz
```

does not help either.

Even removal of the all contents of /boot folder does not help:

```
The upgrade has aborted. The upgrade needs a total of 238 M free
space on disk '/boot'. Please free at least an additional 13,5 M of
disk space on '/boot'. You can remove old kernels using 'sudo apt
autoremove' and you could also set COMPRESS=xz in
/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to reduce the size of your
initramfs.

```

You have to take such scenarios into account.
