Better yet, just don't use the dbca.

This one will knock out vulnerabilities DB [17-25]:
Steps for Manual De-installation of Oracle Spatial
http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_d
atabase_id=NOT&p_id=179472.1
Basically, the schema mdsys is created by default in a dbca db, even
if the spatial option is not being installed. In theory, the
following:
SQL> drop user spatial cascade;
should do the trick.
The referenced doc was for 9i and not apparently updated for 10g.
As always, test on a destructo box first.
