That said, you are indeed correct, and skel file is used to create
dirmngr.conf on other systems as well (it has been a while since
starting with a fresh homedir :) ) ... if wanting hkps the latter should
be switched to hkps://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net  ,the former is
protected already as tor usage would be to an endpoint running a tor
hidden service.

That change would also be consistent with
