Package: gnutls-bin
Version: 3.6.5-2
Severity: minor

In certtool(1), it says:

       --key-type=string
              Specify the key type to use on key generation.

              This option can be combined with --generate-privkey, to specify
                  the key type to be generated. Valid options are, 'rsa',
              'rsa-pss',

there are more valid options than 'rsa' and 'rsa-pss' (e.g. i just
tested, and 'ed25519' works fine), but those are the only two listed
in the manpage.

       --dkg
