 It gave me quite some trouble to fullfil the requirement of 768 MB for the 
 boot 
 directory: changing partition layout, shrinking another filesystem etc. 
 After 
 upgrade to trixie, `du -sh /boot` reports 90M, and I believe during the 
 upgrade 
 disk usage for this directory never exceeded approx. 135 MB. I use booting 
 with 
 efi stub, no boot manager. Also, there is no failsafe kernel with all 
 modules 
 compiled in. 
  
 In my setup, /boot/efi is a separate, fat32 formatted partition. The 
 sentence 
 that caused me to believe that /boot/efi also needs to be larger is "The 
 Linux 
 kernel and firmware packages have increased considerably in size ...". 
 However, 
 kernel and inital ramdisk have 12 MB each. Reading now, I observe that the 
 title 
 refers to /boot, but the first sentence to the package size, which mostly 
 ends 
 up not being stored under /boot. Hence, a little bit of a catch. 
  
 I suggest to replace the first sentence in section 5.1.5, referring to the 
 size 
 of the kernel and firmware packages by a more precise observation on the 
 size 
 of 
 files installed under /boot, and under which condition (grub2 present?).
