The rule is that a release is supported up to the next release + 1 year unless the release after the next one comes earlier. So for Lenny that would mean until release date of Squeeze + 1 year (February 6th 2012) unless Wheezy would be released earlier. Obviously Wheezy won't be released before, so Lenny is supported until Febrary next year.
