There has been discussion about this on the openssh-unix-dev mailing list.
Basically RSA is a better choice when the source of random numbers is
suspect.  A description of this problem in conjunction with DSA is in the
WARNING.RNG file in the openssh source package.  For the next version
I'll put in into /usr/share/doc/openssh as well.
