[pass] Pass not accepting DSA Keys

Hello there,

I created several DSA keys and none of them were working. I always got
"gpg: 2048D/19XXXD3: skipped: No public key".

After trial and error I discovered that pass *would only accept RSA keys*.

I tried adding these DSA keys by their ids, like 'pass init 11223344'.
Also, as I found in a blog post, I tried adding the key using the email,
which unfortunately neither worked ('pass init sanbor at gmail.com').

For anyone to reproduce this issue, just generate a DSA key using `gpg2
--gen-key` and select DSA. Then do 'pass init KEYID'. Finally, try to
create a new entry by running 'pass generate -c Facebook 16' and you will
get the 'No public key' messages.

Best regards,
Santiago
