I understand. But on http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html there is no explicit reference to etch, few times there is mention about lenny, but only as starting assumption, to simplify text. This chapter is even titled "Upgrades from previous releases" (plural), suggesting it is supported somehow. As my experiments show it mostly works. But one need to know what to do. Explicitly writing that upgrade to lenny first from older releases is needed to problem-free upgrade, will be small and good addition to release notes.
