Now linux-image is version 6.11.5-1, and the bloat keeps increasing:
  * btrfs-modules-6.10.9-amd64-di_6.10.9-1_amd64.udeb
  * btrfs-modules-6.10.11-amd64-di_6.10.11-1_amd64.udeb
  * btrfs-modules-6.10.12-amd64-di_6.10.12-1_amd64.udeb
  * btrfs-modules-6.11.2-amd64-di_6.11.2-1_amd64.udeb
  * btrfs-modules-6.11.4-amd64-di_6.11.4-1_amd64.udeb
  * btrfs-modules-6.11.5-amd64-di_6.11.5-1_amd64.udeb
  * crc-modules-6.10.9-amd64-di_6.10.9-1_amd64.udeb
