Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Replying to [comment:5 tomauger]:
 > Currently selecting ANY media library item as a Header Image will
 automatically create a new attachment, even if it's exactly cropped. So if
 you remove an image from the list, the next time you add it, your library
 will get yet another duplicate of that image.

 Related: [20806], #20657.

 As noted in IRC, it was designed that way to prevent orphaning header
 image if the original attachment is deleted (and vice versa).

 Currently you can remove an image from the list of available header images
 by deleting that attachment from Media Library. So I guess the patch
 should just allow to do that on the Custom Header screen itself.
