Your key is a v3 key with v3 self-signatures. You can only set
preferences on a key with v4 self-signatures. If you'd like, you can
change your self-signatures to v4, which will allow you to have
preferences for algorithms, primary uids, and other wonderful things
like that. However, it will break compatibility with PGP 2.x and some
keyservers will keep both sets of self-sigs, which is a hassle. My key
is an example (560553e7).

If you want to use v4 self-sigs, you can type:
gpg --expert --edit-key D1A4EDE5
	uid 2
	primary
	uid 1
	uid 3
	uid 4
	updpref (if this doesn't work, try:)
		setpref S2 H2 Z1 Z0 (you can do something else if you want)
		updpref
	save
