No, bug 1076561 is fixed. FYI, without this fix, the initrd file was
so big that the kernel package could not even be installed on this
machine. Now, I can install it, but the initrd file is nevertheless
much bigger.
However the issue you describe it was fixed in that bug report, consider
that if it wasn't be fixed you'd may expect an initrd file bigger than
200MB.
Sorry but have you read that bug report (#1076561)? Some users has
posted solutions to make smaller the initrd file:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1076561#10
and
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1076561#48
I suggest also to take a look at merged bug reports, usually submitters
propose workarounds to the issue, maybe it could help.
