The dialog is not shown again if apt already knows the cd (if you
e.g. selected "start package manager"). This means that you can just
use a normal "upgrade" in synaptic (or apt).
I think it would be kind of anoying if the dialog poped up everytime
the cd is inserted. Users just installing a package and synaptic
or apt need the cd would get the dialog then.
Cheers,
Michael
