The executable will still be z. I am thinking that z will be installed in /usr/share/zjump/z, and that there will be a script placed in /etc/profile.d/ that sources /usr/share/zjump/z. I could not find any policy against this, however, I found https://lists.debian.org/debian-policy/2014/10/msg00013.html which says that it would be excepted. Is there anything I am missing here? Thanks, Thomas.
