Sure, it explains it in the INSTALL file.
That is when building specifiy -Dskip.seed.data=true


As far as cleaning out issues and stuff in the database you need to learn 
the schema first before doing any such operations. By then you know how 
to clean out data yourself ;-)
We really can't help you with such operations, or we'll end up with bug 
reports related to a database that possibly has the most obscure errors 
in it.

A supported approach would be starting from scratch and taking regular 
backups of the database. Using this approach carefully you should be able 
to one progression of db backups related just to module and issuetype 
definitions, another with test issues added, and yet another with 
production issues added. Of course if you updated the module and 
issuetype definitions you would have to (xml) export and import back in 
your issues.
