Yes. The dpkg methods that know how to mount media expect to do that
for themselves. If they find that something is already mounted where
they want to work they will give up rather than interfere. The solution
is not to mount CDs or whatever unless you're actually using them -
giving them the noauto method in fstab will stop this happening
automatically when you start up.
