keyserver.noreply.org is running on something that resembled woody at
one point in time.

Fabbione and I have a (not-finished) debian package of sks.  To run it
on stable you need libdb4.1 and db4.1-util which can be found on [1] for
instance.  You also need a newer libgmp3 and the sks package itself,
both of which I have backports of.

If you actually want to build it yourself, you also need ocaml,
ocaml-nums, cryptokit and numerix from unstable, which might depend on
newer dephelper and stuff (updated dephelper backports are available
somewhere).

The source of the package is in subversion:
https://svn.clearairturbulence.org/debian-sks/trunk/sks/

Let me know if you rather get the binary packages.

And - just to say it once more - they are not finished yet, they are
highly experimental.  And documentation doesn't exist either.
