Applied to master, thanks.

I've (obviously) read the discussion with Peter, but I believe the
issue he is raising is different. We already have our Busybox
configuration default to "des", which is not consistent with the algo
choice made by the user in the Buildroot configuration. So switching to
"md5" is not making things any worse from that perspective.
