This might be the plan (and I might have already mentioned it somewhere -- can't recall), but assuming clj's interface isn't the same as ours, then I'd be tempted to keep the existing /usr/bin/clojure (assuming it doesn't conflict with anything new upstream) when we add /usr/bin/clj (and for us, maybe also clj-X.Y if there's still a need). That way existing code (particularly version insensitive code) may continue to work. I have any number of things that would break and have to be reworked if/when the existing script vanishes or changes behavior. Then presumably, we might drop the script after a major version or two if we think we want to.
