DSS explicitly specifies how to generate primes for DSA keys. It can be
easily generalized for larger keys and other hash functions, and its
reasonable to assume that the new DSS will do that.

FWIW, the Lim & Lee algorithm is newer than DSS.  It was published in
Crypto 97 whereas FIPS 186 was published in 1994.
