Comment (by dd32):

 > Ultimately, The uploaded file shouldn't be moved to the uploads
 directory at all with the current uploader

 Unfortunately, I was forgetting about FTP upgrades, the file needs to be
 uploaded and stored for the following request.

 Previously if a user was to upload a theme, but not follow through with
 the install (ie. prompted for FTP details) the zip file wouldn't be
 deleted either.

 Proposed patches:
  * 3.2.x: Just clean up after ourselves after installing.
  * 3.3: We should store uploaded items in the Media Library somehow, and
 as well as deleteing after installing, a cron job should clean up any non-
 installed items.
