[plug] Question about upgrading from Debian 4.0 to 5.0

Hello, everyone.

I am thinking about upgrading my Debian installation, from 4.0 to Debian 
5.0, on this system. On my laptop, I had done a clean installation of 
Debian 5.0.

To do the upgrade, I am looking at doing it by just changing the URL's 
in the sources.list file, from etch to lenny, and then doing an apt-get 
update followed by apt-get dist-upgrade.

Has anyone else done it this way, and, has it caused (or, is it likely 
to cause) any problems?

Thanks in anticipation.
