Title:
  raspi 64 bit Impish image can't 'apt upgrade' without adding swap on
  pi zero 2

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When attempting to 'apt upgrade' on the pi zero 2 with the 64 bit
  Impish image and nothing new installed to it, update-initramfs fails
  like so:

  Setting up linux-firmware (1.201.1) ...                                                                                              
  update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.13.0-1008-raspi                                                                      
  Killed                                                                                                                               E: mkinitramfs failure zstd -q -19 -T0 137                                                                                           

  Adding a swap file to the setup allowed 'apt -f install' to run
  successfully.

  How the device was setup
  1) xzcat | dd the sdcard with the impish 64 bit server image
  2) setup for serial over USB (dtoverlay=dwc2, modules-load=dwc2,g_serial, link getty at ttyGS0.service
  ) as suggested in https://www.tal.org/tutorials/raspberry-pi-zero-usb-serial-console
  3) resize partition 2 - fdisk delete partition 2 and recreate to use the rest of the 16GB flash, e2fsck, resize2fs
  4) cp bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dtb bcm2710-rpi-zero-2.dtb per https://waldorf.waveform.org.uk/2021/the-pi-zero-2.html
  5) boot, connect to wireless, ssh in
  6) apt update && apt upgrade
  7) observe above issue
