Binary package hint: gnome-volume-manager

When a new removable drive or CD/DVD is inserted, mountpoints with the names of the volumes' labels are created respectively at /media/. But these folders are never removed when media has been ejected. Neither are existing mountpoints reused. This results in multiple mountpoint-creation at /media/.
For example, when you have inserted and ejected a CD with the volume label Ubuntu five times, five different mountpoints will have been created at /media/:
Ubuntu, Ubuntu_, Ubuntu__, Ubuntu___, Ubuntu____

Mountpoints for removable drives should either be reused or deleted on device disconnect / media eject.

test case:
Insert a CD with the volume label LABEL to your CD-Drive.
A mountpoint named LABEL is created at /media/.
Eject the CD and reinsert it, now a mountpoint named LABEL_ will be created at /media/.
