Because lenny was released before impress 3.0 entered testing, whereas squeeze was release after that I have the following options:
I could either upgrade from lenny to the snapshot with impress 3.0, or downgrade from squeeze to the same snapshot, and upgrading is often easier than downgrading if versioned library dependencies are involved, so lenny seems the safer option to me.
