How to set clean Etch build environment, so I can backport a package from
testing to etch?

Install etch into a chroot, separate partition or separate computer.

For these, you can use debootstrap/cdeboostrap or the Debian installer.

cowbuilder/pbuilder should also support creating etch chroots (IIRC,
cowbuilder needs a special option passed to it though, see the
manpage).
