If you claim to distribute application FooBar, you owe it to the authors of said application to actually distribute FooBar and not something else that was modified against their wishes. If you want to distribute a modified version, you should call it something other than FooBar.
You also owe it to your users to not mislead them by claiming that your modified version is actually the real FooBar.

I think suggesting a rename is a bridge too far given even upstream provides a way to build the software without the extra functionality behind what sounds like a simple build option flag.
