Public bug reported:

If cryptsetup is installed, even if no partition is encrypted, the
generated initramfs will be much larger than necessary, because all
framebuffer/DRM drivers will be included.

This causes systems with low memory to not be able to boot at all. That
includes systems that are kdumping. On x86, they usually only have 128M
of memory allocated. That makes them fail to decompress the initramfs or
OOM very early.
