Need to check:
I used an instruction for remastering of the image from
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Preseed/EditIso
and would be surprised about such effects...
But in fact that seems to be the issue.
The firmware deduplication thingy is rather new, and therefore not
respected in that guide already.

I think 25G should be fine.
(Can ESP get the same values BTW?)
