This is a follow up fix of bug 1493936.  In the fix, we added a policy check on every signature algorithm:
https://hg.mozilla.org/projects/nss/rev/4bc22e14a592#l5.23

This shouldn't be a problem, as the majority of the algorithms are enabled by default.  However, for the weak algorithms disabled by default, there's now way to re-enable them other than with the envvar:

I'm attaching a patch that limits the check to DSA, as originally intended.
