Avoid creation of Plone's default content

I'm working in a project that creates a Plone 4.3 site that installs plone.app.contenttypes as it's default content types. After site creation I see all default content (the front page and some folders and collections) that are still Archetypes-based content.

I want to avoid the creation of that content and I want to know if there's a better way of getting rid of it that manually erasing it in a post install step.

I need an empty site by default.

There are a couple of ways of patching Plone to achieve this behavior by default.

One is by using z3c.jbot to override the following template:

Products/CMFPlone/browser/templates/plone-addsite.pt

The other is by using collective.recipe.patch in your Buildout configuration like this:

parts += patches
...
[patches]
recipe = collective.recipe.patch
egg = Products.CMFPlone==4.3.10
patches = ${buildout:directory}/patches/setup-content-false.patch

the content of the patch file is this (I would love to know how to get this without having to edit the output of the git diff command):

diff --git Products/CMFPlone/browser/templates/plone-addsite.pt Products/CMFPlone/browser/templates/plone-addsite.pt
index bc83eb0..3aebbfe 100644
--- Products/CMFPlone/browser/templates/plone-addsite.pt
+++ Products/CMFPlone/browser/templates/plone-addsite.pt

         </span>
       </div>
       <tal:content tal:condition="not:advanced">

+        <input type="hidden" name="setup_content:boolean" />
       </tal:content>

       <tal:baseprofile condition="python: len(base_profiles) > 1">

You need to setup the Plone Site the following way:

from Products.CMFPlone.factory import addPloneSite
from Products.CMFPlone.factory import _DEFAULT_PROFILE


default_profiles =('plonetheme.classic:default', 'plonetheme.sunburst:default')

return addPloneSite(
    app,
    site_id,
    title=title,
    profile_id=_DEFAULT_PROFILE,
    extension_ids=default_profiles,
    setup_content=False,
    default_language='en')

The important part is setup_content=False.

There's no initial content, no portlet... nothing.
