The letter D/g indicates this (D=DSA, g=Elgamal) :

%gpg --list-keys treinen
pub  1024D/E0BA04C1 2000-02-26 Ralf Treinen <treinen@club-internet.fr>
uid                            Ralf Treinen <treinen@debian.org>
sub  1024g/D3DF40EF 2000-02-26

         ^
         |

So my main key is DSA and the sub is ElGamal.
See http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual.html#AEN244

-Ralf.
