The startup-scripts provided by whichever sane distribution should fix
this anyways to be a non-issue. From the Gentoo /etc/init.d/sks-db:

start_pre()
{
    checkpath --owner sks:sks --directory \
        ${SKS_DIR} ${SKS_DIR}/KDB ${SKS_DIR}/PTree
    checkpath --owner sks:sks --file \
        ${SKS_DIR}/*.log ${SKS_DIR}/KDB/* ${SKS_DIR}/PTree/*
}
