The version of rename from perl is being removed from the perl package -
it was added by the Debian package and was unmaintained. rename/prename
is now provided by the separate rename package, as you indicated.

The intention is that they are compatible with easy other, so I'm
definitely interested if that isn't the case.

The problem you're describing (which is not specific to the newer
version of rename - it appears with the old rename from the perl package
too at least in my testing on Debian) is that -n is being ignored when
supplied as the last argument. Both manpages specify that options must
come before the expression and file list.
