It does not matter that Lenny is out of support (formerly codenamed "oldstable") because even the current stable release (Squeeze) neither get kernel upgrades (for kernel upgrades I mean going from 2.6.26 to 2.6.32 or 3.x branch, for instance). Kernel upgrades in Debian only happen in testing (until becomes frozen) and sid. Stable (and olstable) releases have to use the backports or manual compilation.
