Nothing, the default prefered algorithm for a newly created key is Rijndael,
and this algo should be added to the list of keys that don't produce this
warning. See in g10/misc.c near line 230 and add the required ciphers. I
have there:

    if( algo >= 100 && algo <= 110 )
        no_exp_algo();
    else if(    algo == CIPHER_ALGO_3DES
             || algo == CIPHER_ALGO_CAST5
             || algo == CIPHER_ALGO_BLOWFISH
             || algo == CIPHER_ALGO_TWOFISH
             || algo == CIPHER_ALGO_RIJNDAEL       <--+  These lines are
             || algo == CIPHER_ALGO_RIJNDAEL192    <--|  added by me
             || algo == CIPHER_ALGO_RIJNDAEL256    <--|

           )
        ;
