On my system only /cdrom was created.

If I remember correctly, the file system hierarchy standard says mount
points for removable media should be in /media, so I guess this is the
preferred way. Of course, you can change this to whatever you like on
your own system. If you remove the stuff in /, you probably also have
to reconfigure apt if you installed from CD or DVD, e.g. by adding
Acquire::cdrom::mount "/media/cdrom";
to /etc/apt/apt.conf.
