If a user has a login startup script or shell scripts that refer to
/bin/zsh, or to /usr/bin/zsh, they can be run without having to modify
them, after copying to the new system.
Note that there is only one file containing code. As mentioned by Alexis,
the names you mention are links to the true executable, so there is only
one Z shell present on your system.
