Just upgraded Lenny to Squeeze with aptitude update ; aptitude dist-upgrade
Repeated runs through eventually got it there though it did look scary to see quite as many broken packages at intermediate
steps.
Vim-common and vim-tiny wouldn't update - there's a conflict with a file in llvm-dev
One of the splash screen programs had a similar conflict and also stopped the process dead at one point. A manual deinstall of llvm-dev
solved that one as did deinstalling ksplash from KDE 3.
Hope this helps someone,
