Dear Maintainer,
The sks 1.1.6+git20200620.9e9d504-1 currently packaged in testing has
important defect that prevents it from synchronizing properly with other
servers. Here is an log:

terminated by timeout
At this point the sks server is deadlocked and can only be terminated.
The issue (https://github.com/SKS-Keyserver/sks-keyserver/issues/82) is
fixed in upstream.
Please package an updated version.
Regards,
Kim Minh.
