Rename 'run_test' to 'ct_test', add a new 'run_test' that prints a
warning and executes 'ct_test' and then remove the 'run_test' completely
in the next major version or two?

I agree with the OP - having a /usr/bin/run_test in my Ubuntu system
that I guess runs a test suite for a voice synthesizer is... suboptimal.
