I've had more luck with debootstrap than cdebootstrap, but in either case
you're likely going to need to run the version from sid on etch to build a
chroot for sid.  This is easier with debootstrap since it's architecture
independent and hence doesn't need recompilation to work on etch; just
installing the package from sid normally works.
