PKA export uses algorithm number for "ECDSA Curve P-384 with SHA-384" instead of "Ed25519" for "Ed25519/Ec25519" keys

Description

For example when I run: gpg2 --export-options=export-pka --export 7B52519EB77124034BAAAE77348B4BDC6047AF45, this is part of the output:

$ORIGIN _pka.aegrel.ee.
; 7B52519EB77124034BAAAE77348B4BDC6047AF45
; Taavi Eomäe <taavi@aegrel.ee>

Am I misunderstanding something or is it using algo ID 14? If yes to the latter, wouldn't 15 make more sense with Ed25519/Ec25519 keys?

PKA is dead but anyway: What you see is a record from a DNS zone file which has a specific semantic. The 14 for example means that 20 bytes follow.

Oh, any chance GPG could inform the user when using export-pka that it is dead/deprecated? Also thanks for the quick reply.
