We have:
mrename - A tool for easy and automatic renaming of many files
renameutils - Programs to make file renaming easier
Package: mrename
Description: A tool for easy and automatic renaming of many files
Mass Rename is a simple pair of shell scripts which make it easier
to move, rename, or copy multiple files at once. It is intended
mainly as an automatic and simple way to rename multiple files
with a customizable prefix and a progressive number.
and also the program "rename" part of perl and therefore present on any
normal installation of Debian (try apt-get remove perl for kicks).

This rename can't do easily.
