I use Exim as my MTA, which is also the MTA used by Debian.  I can tell
you how to configure Exim for use with SKS, but not how to do it in
Debian's setup.  Given that Debian's MTA setup is designed to allow
packages to provide mail-handling hooks, I'm slightly surprised that
installing the sks .deb didn't let you set this up in Exim with a
dpkg-reconfigure (of Exim) or whatever it is Debian uses.

I feed mail to address@hidden into sks_add_mail; thus I use
this Router (Routers are an ordered list of handlers, first acceptor
wins):

sks_keysync:
  driver        = accept
  domains       = sks.spodhuis.org
  local_parts   = keysync
  transport     = sks_insert

and then in the Transports section (unordered collection of methods for
carrying out the delivery, referenced from Routers) I have:

sks_insert:
  driver = pipe
  command = /usr/local/bin/sks_add_mail /path/to/sks-dir
  user = sks
  current_directory = /path/to/sks-dir

You'll want to change the values of most of those options, but that's
the framework needed.
