I was under the impression this is the offical docs for upgrading to
Lenny for x86 Debian systems, it is certainly more complete.

http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html

The big issue for most people Etch to Lenny was kernel renumbering of
devices - which the official docs mention in passing.

Some discussion of backports here.

But if home is on another partition it is easy enough to reinstall if it
all goes pear-shapers, so just go for it!
