Public bug reported:
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/.

Description: GNOME daemon to auto-mount and manage media devices
gnome-volume-manager is a GNOME daemon that acts as a policy agent on
top of the kernel, udev, D-Bus and HAL. It listens to HAL events and
reacts with user-configurable actions. Currently it supports automount
of new media and hot-plugged devices, autorun, autoplay for CDs and
DVDs, and automatic camera management. It is expected to be simple and
free of polling and other evil hacks.
