I started generating new keys as usual: gpg2 --card-edit / admin /
generate and went through the menu with the default values. Also I did
not modify my gpg.conf manually.

I assume gpg2 uses SHA256 by default but should have an exception for
version 1 cards because they don't support the algorithm.
