Hi, All:

In light of http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1/263924
GnuPG probably should remove the confirmation/warning message, and
change the suggested key size:

$ gpg --gen-key
gpg (GnuPG) 1.0.6; Copyright (C) 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
[...]
Please select what kind of key you want:
   (1) DSA and ElGamal (default)
   (2) DSA (sign only)
   (4) ElGamal (sign and encrypt)
Your selection?=20
DSA keypair will have 1024 bits.
About to generate a new ELG-E keypair.
              minimum keysize is  768 bits
              default keysize is 1024 bits <=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D HERE =
=3D=3D
    highest suggested keysize is 2048 bits
What keysize do you want? (1024) 2048
Do you really need such a large keysize? yes  <=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D HER=
E =3D=3D
Requested keysize is 2048 bits             =20
[...]

Unless, of course, the abovementioned email is not correct...

Cheers
Dmitri
