[maemo-developers] GPG encryption question

DSA keys does not work for encryption? It seems to me like that. Here
is outcome of keygeneration on N810:

---CUT---
Possible actions for a DSA key: Sign Authenticate
Current allowed actions: Sign

   (S) Toggle the sign capability
   (A) Toggle the authenticate capability
   (Q) Finished
--CUT---

If so, I am unable to encrypt anything on default maemo platform on my
N810, right?
