By default gpg will use OpenPGP sigs. This is probably your problem.

also some documentation on how to get gpg to generate pgp5 compatible
sigs in the manpage.

Basically, I want people to know that when they use binary-only modules,
it's THEIR problem. I want people to know that in their bones, and I
want it shouted out from the rooftops. I want people to wake up in a
cold sweat every once in a while if they use binary-only modules.
