even when using the LGPL, but https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html
doesn't give any recommended usage pattern, and

I know it's a pain to update lgpl-2.1.texi, even if the update is not
part of the official license, but it would be nicer if the two
recommendations were synced with regards to listing the same address.
Am I correct that it is okay to list <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/> as
the preferred contact address in the headers of my files, even when
using LGPLv2?
