If the Debian install is anything like the Ubuntu one, then the pid
files are stored in /var/run/sks/sksdb.pid & /var/run/sks/sksrecon.pid.
The problem is that /var/run is mounted as a temporary filesystem and
the sks sub-directory doesn't exist.
You'll need to create the /var/run/sks directory, and set its owner to
debian-sks before starting the daemons.
