A quick FAQ: the reason all DSA keys have been removed from fd.o and we aren't
accepting any new ones is that they are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks
if they have ever been used (not just generated) on a system with a
predictable RNG: see Steinar's summary
of the maths. We're going with precedent of debian.org rejecting DSA keys,
and a general desire to be safe rather than sorry. RSA keys are the default in
OpenSSH anyway, so I'm not really sure why you'd want to generate DSA.
