The GNU Coding Standards frown on such practices:

  Please don't make the behavior of a utility depend on the name used to
  invoke it.  It is useful sometimes to make a link to a utility with a
  different name, and that should not change what it does.  Thus, if you
  make 'foo' a link to 'ls', the program should behave the same regardless
  of which of those names is used to invoke it.
