Yes.  That's the best thing to do.

Or at least, install its binary and manpage in some other name such as
rupa-z or zjump.  And add suggestion to make a short alias such as "z"
which does not conflict on the machine in its manpage and README.

So user can have a short name if he wishes but will not deprive others
to use z as alias.

This is a very simple package so maintaining patch is not too much of
burden.
