Bug#485447: tasksel: Rename Northern Sami to North Sámi and add hunspell-se package

While I very much welcome the change in "localized" name you did in
localechooser, I have to mention that I'm less keen to encourage such
change in tasksel, either in the file name or, more important in the
task *description*.

The English name of the language *in the ISO-639 standard* is
"Northern Sami", see
http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php

In all tasks we have tried to use the officially standardized name of
the relevant language. I suggest we stick up with that choice.
