You need to enable the apt sources for squeeze-lts manually.

This didn't seem to work for me, or I missed something obvious? Tried
to do this on squeeze amd64.
apt-get update fetched only the Sources and Releases{,.gpg} files [...]
Sorry... I'd made a very silly mistake, and added two deb-src lines to
my sources.list (instead of one deb and one deb-src). The repository is
working fine.

Hello.
I followed the procedure specified at
https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Development#Add_squeeze-lts_to_your_sources.list
;
"
Using squeeze-lts
Add squeeze-lts to your sources.list
Important: Squeeze-LTS will only support i386 and amd64. Users of other
architectures are encouraged to upgrade to Debian 7 ("wheezy").
for binary packeges add this line: deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian
squeeze-lts main
for source package add this line: deb-src
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian squeeze-lts main
Of course you can optionally add other archive area as contrib or
non-free after the main archive area.
for binary packeges add this line: deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian
squeeze-lts main contrib non-free
for source package add this line: deb-src
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian squeeze-lts main contrib non-free
...
Update and upgrade
Run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade to update and upgrade your system
"
I am running Debian 6 amd64 on this computer.
When I ran apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade (I usual use the
update applet in the taskbar, to check for updates, and then I up[date
the system, using that procedure, rather than apt-get), I got the
following output, leading me to believe that it appears to have not
worked.

Am I correct in my perception that it did not work?
I have not yet tried to install the debian-security-support package, as
I assume that it is in the LTS repository, rather than the current
Debian 6 repository, and I do not know whether my attempt to access the
LTS repository, has worked.
Thank you in anticipation, for constructive assistance.
