I think what you mean is "Version 3" packets. Could you please be more specific 
in which cases you need to generate V3 packets?

This implementation is following RFC4880 which defines Version 3 in several 
cases as obsolete. openpgp.js is not compatible with RFC2440.  If you feel a 
need for this compatibility please go ahead and implement this functionality.

Signature packets:
"Implementations SHOULD accept V3 signatures.  Implementations SHOULD generate 
V4 signatures.

Note that if an implementation is creating an encrypted and signed message that 
is encrypted to a V3 key, it is reasonable to create a V3 signature."

We currently are not creating V4 and not V3 signatures for these keys.

Public Key Packets:
"OpenPGP implementations MUST create keys with version 4 format.  V3 keys are 
deprecated; an implementation MUST NOT generate a V3 key, but MAY accept it."

best regards,
carsten
