Here are my /etc/apt/sources.list, /etc/fstab, /etc/lilo.conf listings.
The specifications for the root file

/etc/lilo.conf, you have
root = "UUID=5e0d4da4-aba3-4965-8fb4-788501b0fe69"
In /etc/fstab you have
LABEL=hda2
The two specifications are not the same. They may be logically
equivalent; but without more information, there's no way for me
to tell.
Yes, they are logically the same, but I agree that they should match.
The line in /etc/fstab was a quick and dirty fix back when I upgraded
the kernel and udev under Lenny from backports and I just wanted
something that would not mess up when I rebooted to the new kernel. As I
said, I had not yet rerun lilo with the change to use the UUID for the
root specification. I have now changed /etc/fstab to use UUID, as well,
so that they match.
Also, I am going to rerun 'apt-get update' and see if the lines
mentioninf lenny in /var/lib/dpkg/status go away.

Let me know how that works out for you. I didn't see any obvious
problems in your /etc/apt/sources.list.
Well, that didn't work, but I purged all of the packages with conffiles
(manually, as I did it before Andrei made his post -- BTW, I don't see
the -c option in the aptitude manpage) and that seems to have cleaned up
the mess. I have not had those warnings pop up since then.
Thanks for the confirmation on using append with the rootdelay command.
I think that it is time for me to rerun lilo and reboot the system. I'll
let you know how that goes once I get to it.
Thanks for all the help.
