Before people panic, there are no known weaknesses in DSA.  The SHA-1
hash algorithm has some severe problems, but there's nothing in DSA that
requires the use of SHA-1: you can replace it with any 160-bit hash.

Let's not panic, and let's not migrate away from DSA without good
reason.  :)  Migrate away from SHA-1, sure, but DSA is fine.
