Fixing old-fsf-address-in-copyright-file



Howdy mentors,

The description for Lintian warning old-fsf-address-in-copyright-file
says:

    The /usr/share/doc/pkg/copyright file refers to the old postal
    address of the Free Software Foundation (FSF). The new address is:

      Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor,
      Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA.

Is it sufficient for Debian packaging to update the address in
‘debian/copyright’ only? Or is the fix not acceptable until the
address is consistent with the license grant text in upstream files?
