Realistically, I don't see it happening. Lenny lost all security support
in 2012-02-06, meaning nobody should EVER be using it in production now
- and whilst it's feasible to take a release where everything is built
against the .NET 2.0 profile higher (e.g. I have backport packages for
Ubuntu 10.04), providing 2.8 or newer on a release where everything's
built for the 1.0 profile (like Lenny) is pretty much impossible.
