Well, we don't really want logic like that in systemd I
fear. Generally, with mounts we want to ensure that invoking
/bin/mount or /bin/umount on a directory isn't too different in its
effect than executing the same operations with systemd's own logic
using "systemctl". 

That said, I must be convinced that we should add a high-level setting
to mount units for removing directories after umount.

Can you elaborate on the usecase please?
