That's comprehensible.

A name conflict is no problem. This package will just be replaced by the
“proper” packages later.
Alternative package would be jdownloader-downloader,
jdownloader-launcher. There are a bunch of packages in contribute with
"-installer" in its name. A package that do not follow this rules is
flashplugin-nonfree. I haven't made up my mind what name to choose.
