You might want to open a PR with a reformatted (not this falsely
autoindented:) patch ...  Or you might want to obey(id?) the fact
that not everybody can or wants to use MD5 and thus
- make the current behaviour (DES) the default for adduser and
- switch to MD5 based the admin's wish when adduser got invoked
  or configured (i.e. make MD5 support optional)
