You mean internal drives are not visible in desktop? That's really a new (and 
strange) behavior! 

If I force downgrade the package (ONLY this package), and left all the rest 
exactly like it is now, then I can see both removables and internal drives in 
the desktop, nautilus and apps, and I dont even have to reboot, restart hald, 
or even restart gnome. Thats what I (and I think _all_ users) I whant.

I think you are not getting me. If I list computer:/// with gnomevfs-ls then I 
only see removable devices, network and filesystem, like this example

root at trisquel:/# gnomevfs-ls computer:///
Filesystem.desktop              (Regular, application/x-desktop)        size 0  
mode 0444
Network.desktop         (Regular, application/x-desktop)        size 0  mode 
0444
Disquetera.drive                (Regular, application/x-desktop)        size 0  
mode 0444
Unidade%20CD-RW%2FDVD%C2%B1R.drive              (Regular, 
application/x-desktop)        size 0  mode 0444

I can see removables, but not my hd* and sd*
And it _only_ happens if hald is not running. If hald is NOT runing then I 
have this output:
root at trisquel:/# gnomevfs-ls computer:///
Filesystem.desktop              (Regular, application/x-desktop)        size 0  
mode 0444
Network.desktop         (Regular, application/x-desktop)        size 0  mode 
0444
sda6.drive              (Regular, application/x-desktop)        size 0  mode 
0444

So, I cannot see my fixed drives, only removables. Yes, I can go to /mnt using 
nautilus, but it is not the way it should work: fixed drives should be in 
computer:///location, and I cannot get it working!

In the examples, drive sda6 is mounted with this fstab line
/dev/sda6 /mnt/sda6 ext3 auto,gid=1000,umask=000 0 0

That's almost so stupid as adding hal to disk group.

Using lshal I get this about sda6:
