SHA1 was created by the US government. I feel that the US government does n=
ot
have its citizens best interest at heart in the realm of cryptography, and
sometimes not with privacy in general. I prefer RIPEMD160 as it was created
independently outside of the US. Anyway, whatever my reason, shouldn't it
be my choice?

digest-algo has worked before, with my RSA key and with my ElGamal 20 key (=
see
sig) on key signatures. I might be able to dig them up for you.
