You can do that, and safely assume that it is stable. The reason why
the "we have released" mail has not been sent is because the CD images
are still being built/pushed to mirrors. Since that is a monstrous
task, given the number of CD images Debian makes available, that final
step will take some time.

I guess you should be hearing the official "We've released!" news
tomorrow. However, putting "lenny" in your sources.list will work
fine. If your mirror is not fully up-to-date today, within a few days,
only an incremental update will be needed, once the remaining
differences are mirrored.

HTH.
