The package checking tool, "lintian", emits a warning if the old FSF
address is in the copyright file. This is a strong indication of the
consensus view that the old FSF address should not appear.

I encourage you to run 'lintian' over your package each time you build
it, to find other potential issues and fix them before releasing.
