Bug#364385: localechooser almost tripled in size...

In 1.06, I introduced a bug when I removed the crafted intltool-merge
which allowed partial translations for country names.

I unfortunately ommited the document this properly because it was
discovered while working on something else (beat me) but then it got
fixed and localechooser got the country names translations back...and
its huge size back....

In the meantime, some languages were added, which explains the
templates file size increase noticed by Joey.

Of course, the size of this templates file is a problem but I fail to
see how to do differently if we want to have the country names
translated.

The scripts in localechooser are heavily commented. One way to grab
some bytes back could be filtering these comments during the package
build. This would of course make debugging a little more complicated
when working in the installer itself but that could be worth it. This
saves about 5k in /usr/bin/localechooser
