Hi,

attempting to use any hash other than SHA1 fails:

gpg: detected reader `Towitoko Chipdrive Reader 00 00'
gpg: card does not support digest algorithm SHA256
gpg: signing failed: invalid argument
gpg: signing failed: invalid argument

I'd like to migrate to a stronger hash soonish, this makes things difficult
however.

This is not a bug, but hardware reality. The v1 smartcard does not internally permit any hash other than SHA-1 or RIPEMD/160. The situation is different on the v2 cards which can support different hashes.
