there are two different problems here:

1) any key (RSA or DSA) created with the affected OpenSSL version is insecure
2) any DSA private key used with the affected OpenSSL version could have been
   compromised

the tool only checks for case 1), because it can't possibly know where you've
copied your key to and used it.  so, there will be no difference for DSA vs
RSA keys.
