The only real reason...
not to have those in the network interfaces is... auto-managed rather than specified.
Mike does things that way as he'll never change.
The reason you have the "root terminal" desktop short cut is that you are running SID.
Sid assumes a lot.
I just ignore it.

Safe to upgrade from Debian 5 (lenny) to Testing (squeeze)?

I'd say Testing is the least best alternative.

apt-get is really good at fixing things.

I wouldn't mix aptitude and apt-get

synaptic is just a gui on top of apt-get...

Remember, people in 1900 didn't know what an atom was. They didn't know its structure.
They also didn't know what a radio was, or an airport, or a movie, or a television, or a computer, or a cell phone, or a jet, an antibiotic, a rocket, a satellite, an MRI, ICU, IUD, IBM, IRA, ERA, EEG, EPA, IRS, DOD, PCP, HTML, internet. interferon, instant replay, remote sensing, remote control, speed dialing, gene therapy, gene splicing, genes, spot welding, heat-seeking, bipolar, prozac, leotards, lap dancing, email, tape recorder, CDs, airbags, plastic explosive, plastic, robots, cars, liposuction, transduction, superconduction, dish antennas, step aerobics, smoothies, twelve-step, ultrasound, nylon, rayon, teflon, fiber optics, carpal tunnel, laser surgery, laparoscopy, corneal transplant, kidney transplant, AIDS... None of this would have meant anything to a person in the year 1900. They wouldn't know what you are talking about.
