Keyservers are not trusted, by definition. Key signatures provide the
requisite security.

All publicly available patches for PKS that I'm aware of have been
applied to the tree available at http://pks.sf.net. The latest CVS
version there has been updated to use Berkeley DB 4. However, I think
SKS should be used instead of PKS if possible. PKS has a number of
bugs inherent in its design and is not being actively developed.
