I backported it for my internal usage at keyserver.linux.it. Our changes
are similar, but I've used db4.7 because the current squeeze package
uses it.

The package is well tested as I maintain two sks instances that are
running it since 20 days ago.

You can find my packages at http://keyserver.linux.it/deb/ 

I'm available to upload it if no-one has objections.

Regards,
Marco
