Sure. First I have to say, that I have nothing against FHS. To create
FHS compliant scheme we also need a tool that will control where the
sks files will be install. Such tools of course exists, but is 
target-OS specific. I mean rpm for Read Hat, packages for *BSD, etc.

So, to create FHS compilant scheme is task for guys which will port
sks on specific OS. 

For "generic" version of SKS, I suggest to have all sks files in one
subdirectory (/usr/local/sks). I will compare my suggestion with
PKSD scheme:


                       PKSD                       SKS
-----------------------------------------------------------------
PREFIX                 /usr/local/pksd            /usr/local/sks
database               var/db                     var/db
incoming mail          var/incoming               -- 
dead mails             ??                         var/failed_msg
logs                   var/log                    var/log
sockets                var                        --
binaries               bin                        bin
configuration          etc                        etc
man pages              man                        man
locale                 share                      share

Optionaly:
backup                 var/backup                 var/backup
cvs                    cvs                        cvs


I hope I don't forget anything.

I suggest to use scheme for "generic" version (/usr/local/sks/...), but
with task to port sks on specific OS in mind.
