Bug#1122883: systemd-boot: fails to install when EFI partition is too small, and breaks dpkg

[Jérémy Lal]

Package: systemd-boot
Version: 261~rc1-1
Followup-For: Bug #1122883

I noticed that installing systemd-boot on debian 14,
after the default grub install, produces uncompressed files in /boot/efi,
while grub installs compressed files.

On a hunch, I installed "dracut" (without configuring it), and now
the files are compressed in /boot/efi. Somehow dracut-install needs
a dependency or a configuration that dracut provides to get a compressed initrd.
