chore: delete some dead code
Metadata
Current evaluation
Removes 19 lines of dead code in one file, a follow-up to #2681 (remote-build project name fix). Approved by a maintainer, CI mostly green with a few failing/pending snap tests.
Suggested action: needs review
Reason: Maintainer-authored, already approved by one reviewer with zero unresolved comments, and last activity was 1 day ago, so it is fresh and ready to land. The diff is a trivial -19 line dead-code deletion tied to the already-merged #2681 remote-build fix, with only a few non-blocking snap-test CI failures (20.04/25.10) and one pending 22.04 job.

Issue body
Found some code that _would've_ had the same issue that #2681 fixes, but it wasn't referenced anywhere anymore.
