Snapshot download mt7621 imagebuilder huge file size than previous build

openwrt-imagebuilder-ramips-mt7621.Linux-x86_64.tar.zst at snapshot download is almost 4 times larger than previous build. Compare to previous build it add many vmlinuz-initramfs files with numeric extention. Are these files useful or it should be clean ? buildbot make mistake ?

I believe you can delete them. initramfs files are not useful to the ImageBuilder in the first place.

This is very much above my paygrade, but it looks like the function that cleans up the initramfs residue does not cover the transition from vmlinux-initramfs* to vmlinuz-initramfs*. @Ansuel, that was your commit, right?

@takimata thank you pinpoint the problem!
@Ansuel please add rm -f $(IB_KDIR)/vmlinuz-initramfs* in imagebuilder makefile for buildbot behaving correctly.

yes didn't account for vmlinuz. Will add the fixup.
