I knew that DSA fails catastrophically with low entropy (where "catastrophically" = "leaking the private key"), but I would hope that any DSA-capable smartcard would have a decent hardware RNG built in. I'm not familiar with RFC 6979. Thanks for the link. It's good to see people taking that issue into account.
