On one of my work machines, I simply changed the apt sources squeeze to wheezy 
and then apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, apt-get dist-upgrade. It went 
smoothly.

It occurs to me the only thing is to watch out for: on Wheezy is not available 
Trinity applet for NetworkManager. If you use it, you must hold a version for 
Squeeze.
