[Bug 327106] Re: initramfs is too big

[Colin Watson]

Actually, the symlink vs. cpio issue does seem to cause a certain amount
of bloat. This is unfortunate but I'd prefer not to fix that just now,
since I know that it causes issues for building on disk-limited systems.
If this is important to you, it's probably best to file a separate bug;
as of the patch I'm about to upload the footprint of this problem is
500KB or so, much less than it used to be. We're going to be gradually
making the initramfs smaller for boot performance reasons over the
course of this cycle, which may make it less of an issue in future.
