So you're upgrading from sarge, to etch, to lenny?  This generally
should work but since you've left it so late to upgrade most people will
have forgotten about the 'gotchas' and you won't get a lot of support
with the upgrade.

Any preinst script will be installed as
/var/lib/dpkg/info/<package-name>.preinst.  However, the official kernel
packages for etch didn't use preinst scripts.  Are you sure the error
was in installation of linux-image-2.6.18-6-686 and not one of its
dependencies?

Ben.
