What happens in this case? Presumably updates will be taken from the new
stable repository?
Correct.
Should I be specifying lenny instead of stable,
Yes, if you want to stay on lenny until further notice.
Personally, I always use the version names, so I'm not 100% certain that
it's still around, but I believe you could also use old-stable to
continue tracking lenny (at least until wheeze comes out, at which point
old-stable will become squeeze).
or am
I already too late to do that?
If you've already done any updates which have installed packages from
squeeze, then it's too late with respect to those packages (apt won't
automatically downgrade the squeeze versions back to a lenny version),
but, aside from that, changing from stable to lenny shouldn't cause any
problems.
