Plymouth is not the problem. It turns out it's installed on my laptop and I don't have this problem. Uninstalling firmware YOU DON'T NEED is a perfectly valid solution. > * make /boot bigger (not upgrade friendly) Changes to make /boot bigger by default are already in the works, but this will only affect NEW installations. There is no (easy) fix for existing systems. > * MODULES=dep (not effective) This can be useful way to tweak things in individual situations, but I don't consider that a general solution. What IS a general solution is upgrading initramfs-tools to version 0.143 currently available in Experimental as that can handle symlinks to *directories*, whereas 0.142 could only deal with symlinks to files. I already mentioned this in message #44, so it's rather disappointing that people insist on ranting about the problem, but not willing to try the suggested solution. Or they did and just didn't care to report the results back, which normally means it did fix the problem. I already closed https://bugs.debian.org/1076539 because of that and I'm inclined to do the same/similar here too, soon. (Probably just force-merging all those reports into 1)
