Debian uses PGP 2.6.3.
I personally use GPG with the RSAREF module. Using GPG with RSA keys is a
little more complex for the moment because the current version of dpkg-dev
is going to use the first key that matches your email address--that'd be
your DSA key which dinstall can't understand yet. Espy has a version of
dpkg with my patch to let you specify a keyid to use.
