A smooth upgrade from Debian Lenny to Squeeze+Trinity is probably not

ouch.. so it would go something like:
#apt-get purge kde-desktop kdm
#apt-get update
#apt-get dist-upgrade
#apt-get install a bunch of trinity packages I can't name right now...
where does that leave my old kmail/iceweasel personal configurations?

You can reuse a compete iceweasel profile from your backup of
/home/user(s) I share one profile with my "old lenny", it just gripes
about extensions sometimes.
I don't know kmail, maybe similar.
dpkg -l | grep kde > kde.list
writes a list of installed kde3 stuff. Most Trinity packages have the
same name with a -trinity suffix, compare with what's in Trinity repos.
You can edit the list and pass it to apt.
There are a few other steps before upgrading Lenny e.g. a later kernel
A clean base install might be easier.
