With hindsight, that was my mistake - When I rebuilt my server
about a month ago (after a DB corruption), I decided to keep my
installation and just delete /var/lib/sks/DB/*, rebuilding from
dumps. Of course, I blew the DB_CONFIG (which IMO has no business
there!)

In fact... I think that The Debian Way™ would be to have it in
/etc/sks, with a message on top clearly stating it should be linked
from /var/lib/sks/DB (as we Debian people are often too lazy to look
up configuration details in our software and expect everything to be
in /etc) 😉
