Sarge has a command base-config which -- besides running as part of the
installation process -- is also available to change or correct such
things as the time zone, passwords, etc. This command does not seem to
exist as such in Etch. Is there an equivalent in Etch?

Not that I know of. What do you want to change?

Configure passwd and do enable the shadow passwords when asked:

dpkg-reconfigure passwd
apt-get install locales
dpkg-reconfigure locales
tzconfig

It seems that's what you need to do after a debootstrap.
