patches: add debian-copyright-fsf-address

Browse Source 
Salsa-CI's lintian stage flagged the pre-existing boilerplate
paragraph in debian/copyright as 'old-fsf-address-in-copyright-
file' when cleanups first hit CI. Replace the '51 Franklin
Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA' literal with a
'https://www.gnu.org/licenses/' reference; the
/usr/share/common-licenses/LGPL-2.1 reference a few lines later
is unchanged, so license-text location is still covered.

Pushed to salsa and gitea as commit f31c57a on branch cleanups
and as standalone topic debian/copyright-fsf-address on gitea.

Subject: [PATCH] debian/copyright: drop obsolete FSF street address
The 'You should have received a copy ... write to the Free
Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor,
Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA' paragraph flags the lintian tag
'old-fsf-address-in-copyright-file'. Debian prefers either no
address at all or an https://www.gnu.org/licenses/ reference;
in this file /usr/share/common-licenses/LGPL-2.1 is already
cited a few lines below, so the address is redundant. Replace
with the gnu.org URL per current FSF boilerplate.
Pre-existing text, no change to the licence terms.
