DSA involves doing some complicated math on a 160-bit value. There's no hard requirement the value be generated by SHA-1, and GnuPG/PGP 5+ provides RIPEMD160 as an alternative, but in reality hardly anyone uses RIPEMD160. This should not be confused with DSS, the Digital Signature *Standard*, which specifies DSA with SHA-1 (and only SHA-1).
