Aren't lenny and testing the same thing? Currently yes, they are. My guess is that evolution (and probably lots of other packages) hasn't been upgraded because you used 'upgrade' instead of 'dist-upgrade'. Most of the times it is enough, but with testing and unstable you sometimes have to use 'dist-upgrade'. If you have packages on hold after 'upgrade' you should also try 'dist-upgrade' Read the manpage apt-get(8) for the differences between the two.
