I'm one of those keyserver operators who's on the sks-devel list.

My keyserver is running on Debian stable, I'm loathe to start
installing/upgrading packages from outside of the Debian repositories.

One of the main reasons for running Linux (practically any distro) is
that all software can be installed & updated from the repositories
without having to check umpteen packages for updates every day,
downloading and updating/installing from umpteen sources.

A package being in Debian unstable really doesn't count - I don't even
run Sid on my desktop, let alone on a server.

If the version number requirements for being in the keyserver pool is
greater than that provided in the repositories then the package may just
as well not be in the repositories at all.

Will every distro (of those that have sks in their repositories) be
carrying versions greater than 1.1.1?
