Note that there's no FSF copyright code in the xapian-bindings upstream
tarball, except for files generated by autoconf, automake, and libtool
which are all either not GPL or GPL+exception.

So the FSF isn't a relevant copyright holder that I can see, whatever
Debian's policy in such matters might be.
