  1. Before changing apt sources (They should be etch)
  2. apt-get update
  3. apt-get upgrade
  4. reboot if kernel upgrades
  5. Now change your apt sources  (Lenny or Stable)
  6. apt-get update
  7. apt-get upgrade
  8. NOTE: At this point lvm2 is probably held back.
  9. Reboot if the kernel upgrades
  10. NOW do your dist upgrade
  11. apt-get update
  12. apt-get dist-upgrade
  13. NOTE: At this point lvm2 is probably still held back.
  14. Reboot
  15. apt-get update
  16. apt-get install lvm2
  17. Reboot

TADA!  You have to reboot a couple times, but you never have to touch the configs or the mapper.
