sam, thanks for the report. Launchpad shows that the executable was already
called "pdfsam" in 12.04, and as far back as 10.04.

So I don't know how you got a PDF Split and Merge executable that wasn't
called "pdfsam" to begin with, but you can rest easy that your renaming
didn't cause any changes to the app directory.

Title:
Renamed program name locally and Software Center & Apps Directory
replaced original name with local one
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I'm under shock. In my local Ubuntu 12.04 I installed plenty of time (years)
ago the package PDF Split and Merge through the Ubuntu Software Center.
Locally, I renamed the executable name to "pdfsam". I know, a very bad
practice, but for some reasons it was the quickest for me at that time. I might
have rated/commented on the software in the USC, I don't remember. Now, with
another computer and Ubuntu 14.04, I'm shocked to see in the USC the software
"pdfsam" listed. Moreover, it's also in the Apps Directory:
https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/pdfsam/
I imagine that somehow when I rated the software, it took the name
locally and uploaded a new entry in the db with such name? Or even
replaced the original!? Is that possible? I cannot understand
otherwise what's going on here.
