This does not make sense because the zutils are not connected to lzip.
They support 4 compressed formats.
It would be nice if gzip upstream did the right thing renaming their
tools to gz*, but in the meanwhile there is a procedure documented in
INSTALL to rename them:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are installing zutils along with GNU gzip and want to keep the
gzip scripts, the recommended method is to configure gzip as follows:
./configure --program-transform-name='s/^z/gz/'
This renames, at installation time, the gzip scripts and man pages to
'gzcat', 'gzcat.1', etc, avoiding the name clashing with the programs
and man pages from zutils.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Best regards,
Antonio.
