You should go for Etch, fully. Never mix distributions, if you don't
want trouble like this.
Look at http://wiki.debian.org/ and look for upgrade from Etch. There
are some parts about upgradeing the kernel that is crusial that you do
manually, or you get into trouble. But after that, it should just be a
easy path to go.
Good luck
