Yes only rename the binary, kpart and user configuration file. And user 
visible string in the application.

Also, we should have symlinks (except for words, I guess)

Something like:

if(CMAKE_HOST_UNIX)
    install(CODE "
    EXECUTE_PROCESS(COMMAND ln -sf stage kpresenter
       WORKING_DIRECTORY ${BIN_INSTALL_DIR}
       )
    ")
endif(CMAKE_HOST_UNIX)

And desktop files should countains the mention of the old application name, so 
that typing "kpresenter" in the start menu shows stage.
