Nope, it means what it says, though it sort of imagines that the reader is already familiar with the intricacies of OpenPGP certificates. "RSA and RSA" means "Make an signing- and certification-capable RSA primary key, and attach an encryption-capable RSA subkey to it". Similarly, "DSA and Elgamal" means "Make a signing- and certification-capable DSA primary key, and attach an encryption-capable Elgamal subkey to it". So i don't think this is a bug, and am closing this report. If you think there's still a problem, feel free to re-open it and explain what you think needs to be done. Thanks for your report, --dkg
