I would prefer to not deviate from upstream as much as possible. So if
upstream finds an alternative name, that would be the preferred
solution for me. If upstream doesn't want to rename (which is of
course understandable), I will probably rename to csound_cs (for
consistency with csound_extract).

The extract program should be documented as named csound_extract in
debian and derivatives.
