Ok, so apparently the problem had all sorts of things to do with the host key being blacklisted, and therefore labeled as 'compromised'. Of course one can't SSH in anymore in such a situation.
How to prevent it? Well, I probably should have checked with ssh-vulnkey before doing the upgrade.

Hi All,
I've just been attempting an (more than just slightly) overdue upgrade from Etch to Lenny on a machine I don't have physical access to. At first, everything seemed to work fine. But after a while my connection (over ssh) was dropped and all my box returns now is 'connection closed' when I try to reconnect. It gives me this:

Of course I've already activated customer support, hoping that my hosting company is willing to physically go to the server. But I was hoping that you might have some suggestions on what I might be able to try. Though I know my options are limited
And at the same time I'm wondering what's causing it, and how I could have prevented it. I upgraded with a simple: apt-get dist-upgrade
Thanks!Wouter

Upgrading from Etch to Lenny ends in SSH problems
