I ran into that to on an etch box and it concerned me. But I wanted to try out
something or other so I did it and never regretted it.

I have run etch with both testing and unstable in my sources.list along with..
APT::Default-Release "stable";
in /etc/apt/apt.conf and it worked well for me. It can be tricky finding out
what satisfies what with all those different versions available but if you
are happy with etch it might be worth trying before going to lenny.
Just something to think about.. :)
