For those who want/need a smooth upgrade I would recommend to install the new release in parallel with the old release, that is, leaving lenny at the same state and perform a new install of Squeeze in a different partition. So if something wrong happens, you can always boot the old version and work with that. Is time consuming and requires double disk space but for many environments thats should not be a problem at all.

A related option is to clone the core of your system and then upgrade
one copy (leaving the other copy bootable in case of problems with the
udgrade).

(That is, clone the root file system to a new partition, make it bootable
by adjusting a few things (such as Grub/LILO and /etc/fstab), and the
updgrade either the original or the clone.)
