That would work OK for the newly created fine records, but the ones existing in
the database may need some cleaning up. This F/FU/O/.. is a long standing
problem, and I'm a bit worried what kind of fine 'types' people may have in
their databases (probably all kinds imaginable); not sure if this approach
alone would be safe enough.

Removing issue_id on renewal would be a simplest way, question is if it's even
all that useful for closed fines? I wonder what happens with this field on
returns (when issue record is moved to old_issues).
