If you are comfortable managing mount points, doing your own partitioning, 
etc. from the command line, just install Squeeze using the debootstrap method 
from within Ubuntu.

If you aren't, just wait for the 2011-02-06 release of Squeeze and install 
that.

(Migrating from Lenny to Squeeze is going to be a bit more of a pain for many 
users that the Etch -> Lenny upgrade.  For most everyone, there'll be an extra 
reboot [or two] to get the udev / kernel stuff right.  For anyone using KDE 
related stuff, the transition from KDE 3 to KDE SC 4 might be near-traumatic.)

In any case, the Squeeze release notes are a must-skim should-read for anyone 
wanting to install it.
