You just add the DNSKEY of the emergency ZSK in the unsigned zone. And
add a DS of the emergency KSK to the parent zone. But the DS could be
added later if you feel that you have time for that. You also need to
use the same algorithm. If not, then it would be an algorithm rollover
which is not handled in this way.
