Hello, I am not the maintainer of the chicken package, but I created the most recent version of the package. It is ok to rename the csc executable, but I think it would be confusing for Chicken users, because all online documentation refers to csc as csc. How about renaming both the Chicken and C# programs, and using the alternatives system to manage /usr/bin/csc as a symbolic link that can point to either the Chicken csc or the C# csc?
