I'm still learning about all the subtleties here, so I don't know if I
want to select DSA vs RSA or not.  Without this change, my patched
ssh-keyscan returns a ssh-rsa key from a 2.5.2p2 host.  With this change
it returns a ssh-dss key.  Do we want both keys or just the ssh-dss key?
Should this decision be different for older server versions?
