Yes. Lenny is already in the mirrors. It's just not called "stable". And
it is anyway a good idea not to use the names 'stable' and 'testing' in

Start with:

  aptitude install aptitude

This will upgrade apt, dpkg, aptitude, libc6 and some other stuff.
Generally newer apt/aptitude is more apt in handling upgrades.
