thats exactly what you do.  r3 just merges security fixes from
security.debian.org into the real mainline dist.  it also adds a
couple fixed packages for severe bugs.  

upgrading from r0 or r1 or r2 to r3 is as simple as:

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install kernel-image-2.2.19

the last one being necessary since kernels are never upgraded
automatically.
