You have been using Debian and don't know how to do that? -Interesting.
:)

You only have to add sid to your sources.list (copy existing lines and
replace etch/stable with sid) and then run aptitude update, upgrade,
safe-upgrade (new in lenny/sid) and full-upgrade.

Just do regular upgrades to change the old bugs against new ones. Find
the BTS (Debian Bugtracking System) and learn how to use it.

You didn't look close enough. :)

This may be a problem since sid offers several megabytes of upgrades per
day.
