what is the intended behavior of PTXCONF_ROOTFS_MEDIA besides creating a
folder /media which is not always the case without this patch?

If /media is not needed you can just unset PTXCONF_ROOTFS_MEDIA.
With this change the semantic equals to e.g. PTXCONF_ROOTFS_HOME, where the
intended behaviour is creating directory /home, in my opinion.
