You control which of MD5 or DES passwords you get via the login.conf capability, and whether or not you install the crypto sources (or binaries built from them). i.e. you still need to install the crypto code to get DES passwords, but whether or not you do you still get only one libcrypt, not a symlink pointing to one of two locations. The ability to select MD5/DES in login.conf was added in 4.2 or 4.3 -- you no longer need to play games with symlinks and any documentation which tells you to do so is out of date.
