Catching up with mails after a pause... Why not backport the lenny version 
yourself ? With pbuilder (which _is_ present in etch) it's really easy and it 
won't mess up your base system. I was feeling uneasy about messy updates from 
sources on servers or glibc related update avalanches from testing until I 
discovered pbuilder which was a godsend for things already present in testing 
or unstable. I use it regularly just to keep up to date with the outdated GIS 
packages (and coincidentally svn 1.5) in Hardy and Etch. You do need a fair 
amount of space and good bandwidth, but that's usually not a problem on 
servers.
