[Pkg-matrix-maintainers] Bug#925543: matrix-synapse: uses too generic names for programs installed to /usr/bin

Package: matrix-synapse
Version: 0.99.2-1
Severity: normal

matrix-synapse installs several programs with fairly generic names to
/usr/bin, for example:

    generate_config
    hash_password
    move_remote_media_to_new_store.py

I suggest that these are either moved to /usr/lib/matrix-synapse or
renamed (synapse-generate_config); renaming should probably be done
upstream.

(The same applied to the man pages.)

The programs

    register_new_matrix_user
    sync_room_to_group.pl

might also be specific to synapse and better moved/renamed as well.
They are a bit less generic though.
