I'm not sure we should remove the dir actually.
Don't we also leave the CD image as a valid source for APT [1]? And we've 
now configured APT to use /media/cdrom as its dir to mount CDs.

Unless we want to clean up all that too, which is defensible as it's 
unlikely a user would think to mount the image on /media/cdrom. And we 
already remove netinsts from the sources.list during finish-install.

[1] At least if a full CD or DVD was used which given the size of USB 
sticks nowadays is not impossible.
