If that implementation currently uses <openssl/des.h>, it cannot be
expected to work with the current OpenSSL development code anyway
without being updated accordingly: Either it must be changed to
include <openssl/des_old.h> to get the compatible OpenSSL interface,
or it has to use the new OpenSSL names ("DES_..." rather than
"des_..."). It is not much extra effort to rename static functions
while these changes are done.
We knew all the time that software including <openssl/des.h> would
require modifications, so this "conflict" does not look all that
surprising.
