I have talked with upstream and am going to add the reply from the mz
maintainer

-------------- Reply of Mausezahn maintainer (Herbert Haas) -------------------

I decided to stick on "mz" because not only other distros have already
included it that way, many users got already used to that abbreviation, and
finally "mz" gives the idea of a quick (small, fast, efficient) tool.

I don't expect any collisions with other tools that name. There are 676
possibilities of 2-letter names and most people tend to use longer names for
marketing purposes. Also nobody searches for "mz" in Google, I think, rather
one would look for "Mausezahn"...

I asked Debian Maintainers for their opinion and they also had no problem
with "mz".

Thus, in order not to confuse the already established audience I think it is
better to stick on "mz".

Hope you can deal with that ;-)

---------------------------- End of reply -------------------------------------

I am not completely sure about renaming the binary and the manpage because:
He claims it goes as mz in a lot of distros and the binary goes into /usr/sbin/
and I would not want to cause distro confusion for a common software.

Please suggest before I upload an updated SRPM and SPEC
