That seems like the bug itself, and this request is simply a workaround for it.
Trashing items on external disks shouldn't result in the item being copied to
/.

Since we already have two adequate workarounds: (hold down the shift key to
show the delete action in the context menu, or make it always visible by
showing the Delete service) I think we should focus on the actual bug, which I
believe is Bug 76380. Do you agree?
