You can use the config variables:
APT::CDROM::NoMount=True
Acquire::cdrom::mount="/cdrom"

You can set them in apt.conf or when you start synaptic (e.g. 
with synaptic -o Acquire::cdrom::mount="/cdrom"). 

There is no more integration into hal. 

hope it helps,

P.S. Is your libglade2 problem fixed now? IIRC you had strange
segfaults some weeks ago.
