I've got the most up-to-date version of PGP. In fact, it doesn't support them
_yet_.

The signs are there that they're _almost_ supported - in other words, if you
try to add a DSA2 signing subkey the combo boxes have 1536, 2048, and 3072
bit-length options, but when you hit the 'OK' button, you get the message
'Signing key size must be between 1024 and 1024 bits'.

A representative from PGP Corporation confirmed (and I quote) that "PGP is
still prepared to jump to the new DSS standard once it is finalized".
