Package: sks
Version: 1.1.4-2.1+b1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

sks does not properly set the max_matches option -- it actually sets
max_internal_matches. You can see this behavior by submitting a search
query that will return more than the default limit of 500 results, like
"debian.org". This bug can be verified by adding "max_matches: 10000"
to /etc/sks/sksconf, restart sks, and see that you still get the error.

This problem has been reported and fixed upstream:

https://bitbucket.org/skskeyserver/sks-keyserver/issue/4/max_matches-doesnt-work
  https://bitbucket.org/skskeyserver/sks-keyserver/commits/92628b3ce588

I have rebuilt the sks package locally after applying the fix and can
now successfully increase the max_matches option.

From inspecting the source packages, this issue is also present in
versions of sks for the squeeze and wheezy releases.
