cat etc/debian_version gives the version I am running as "lenny/sid" so I assume some packages have been pulled from unstable.
"lenny/sid" is reported there, even if you don't have any packages from Sid. While I do recommend adopting a few applications from Sid, don't start off doing so because you think you already have some anyway. Lenny is very solid, but Sid, though not terrible, has quite a few applications that are somewhat buggy on my systems.
