We have sometimes free space issue in /boot. (And sometimes / due to /lib).
We can set COMPRESS=xz (default value is gzip) in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf.
On my laptop kernel image this save 8M. (Debian Stretch + bpo kernel)
On my server kernel image this save 11M. (Ubuntu kernel)

(Need xz-utils package).
(ArchLinux does it by default IIRC).
(uptedate-initramfs will be longer to execute then when gzip).
