And doesn't the new way of computing KeyIDs hash the algorithm ID number
in with the key material?  Then the same ElGamal key with two different
AlgIDs would have two different KeyIDs.

So if you mix and match, you will create the same problem with V3 v.s. V4
RSA keys, or that same keys with different dates will have different IDs.

(Using the hash was a good idea for the new keyid, hashing anything more
than the MPIs probably was not).
