You don't have to change the package name. Just change the command-line
name. It shouldn't be a problem. If you want to help your users to be
able to use the programm under the old name you can use through the
alternatives mechanism but AFAIK you'll have to coordinate that with the
other package maintainer and the programms must provide a similar
functionality...
