Actually, thsi would depend what keyword you are using in
/etc/apt/sources.list

You can use either the codename (sarge / etch etc.) or the branch
(stable, testing, unstable etc.)

If you are using the word etch, then you are now on the stable release
if you do an apt-get upgrade. If you were using the word testing, then
you will now be on the new testing (lenny as pointed out above).
