cd /var/run/sks

sks db &        # to create db socket, db_com_sock

sks recon &     # to create reconciliation socket, recon_com_sock

If there is an Ubuntu supplied script for starting the server, it should cd to
/var/run/sks before running either of the sks processes, the others I've seen 
do.

That done, there should be no need to run sks as root. I run as non-priv uid &
gid, sks.

Other than that, I have no idea what changes the Ubuntu folks made. The Debian
package seems to work for many.
