The wedges are detached when the internal representation of the GPT is
freed (or delayed untill everything is unmounted) - with all the arm
stuff we often install to USB devices nowadays, and the user should
feel free to remove the target disk.

But you should not get past the /targetroot unmount during normal sysinst
flow, unless you finish installation and then go back to the config or
utility menu.

Detailed notes would be appreciated (or a PR with the notes).
