Ok, but the secret Keys in "private-keys-v1.d" are
encrypted with (symmetric) AES128.

Ok, but can the hash algo changed to sha2?
If i understand it right, with gnupg < 2.1.x, the private keys in
the sec Keyring are stored with the usage of a stronger hash algo.
My question is, why securing the private key's with sha1?
