Hey, but that was not my understanding for lenny. I know that was how it
used to be but now aren't we based on a 2-year of release fixed cycle? :-?
http://www.debian.org/News/2009/20090729
In that announcement it can be read:
"(...) Since Debian's last release happened on Feb. 14th 2009, there will
only be approximately a one year period until its next release, Debian
GNU/Linux 6.0 (codenamed "Squeeze"). This will be a one-time exception to
the two-year policy in order to get into the new time schedule. To
accommodate the needs of larger organisations and other users with a long
upgrade process, the Debian project commits to provide the possibility to
skip the upcoming release and do a skip-upgrade straight from Debian GNU/
Linux 5.0 ("Lenny") to Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 (not yet codenamed)."
So it seems to be feasible an update from lenny to wheezy, or so it
seemed to me after reading the aforementioned note :-)
I understand this is not the norm, but an exception for lenny in order to
accomodate to the new development cycle.

True is that Lenny is my first Debian but in the meantime I started to
feeling older in openSUSE since 2003 ;-)
