I plan to upgrade to lenny over the weekend:

1. duplicate current etch system on a new partition
2. apt-get update
2. replace "etch" by "lenny" in /etc/sources.list
3. apt-get dist-upgrade

Am I missing anything?

I'd first upgrade apt, dpkg & perl. Maybe that's just a legacy of the woody->etch process, but could't hurt...

Note: I do not want apt to mess with my linux kernel.

Then I'd pin that package.
