Last I checked, all (active) SKS servers were doing their part except
keyserver.ubuntu.com, which still doesn't send mailsyncs to any
onak/OpenPKSD/pks keyservers:
http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=stats
Also, a Debian keyring:
rsync://keyring.debian.org/keyrings/keyrings/debian-keyring.pgp
has the (in)famous problem (w/GPG 1.4.2):
gpg: mpi larger than indicated length (2 bytes)
gpg: keyring_get_keyblock: read error: invalid packet
gpg: error reading keyblock: invalid keyring
and can't be (armored and) fed through keyserver(s) with the rest
of the Debian keyrings, as I occasionally do because it always turns
up new data.
Finally, pushing these keyrings through my SKS keyserver just now
resulted in 78 hash updates, meaning that despite ongoing _queries_
from keyring.debian.org (via lwp-trivial/1.41, to subkeys.pgp.net),
nobody is properly pushing these updates _to_ the well-synchronized
keyservers.
IIRC, the same person is responsible for all these issues.
