a simple workaround, is to remove the passphrase using pgp, and 
then import it into gnupg, and them make a new passphrase using 
whatever algorithm the user prefers

again,
once imported into gnupg, 
v3 keys can use 'any' hash algorithm to sign with 

fwiw,
i still have and use my original v3 pgp 2.x key,
as it is the one most trusted by some of the people i correspond 
with
