[RFC] Update copyright file for localechooser



The copyright file for localechooser is badly out of line with who's
actually done major contributions to it and its predecessors.

I propose the following change:

@@ -1,5 +1,12 @@
-The Debian installer language chooser is copyright 2001 by Tollef Fog Heen
-<tfheen@debian.org>.
+The Debian installer localechooser was created by combining two
+originally separate components languagechooser and countrychooser.
+
+The combined code is copyrighted by:
+
+Copyright © 2001-2005 Tollef Fog Heen <tfheen@debian.org>
+Copyright © 2002-2004 Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@hungry.com>
+Copyright © 2003-2007 Christian Perrier <bubulle@debian.org>
+Copyright © 2005-2008 Frans Pop <fjp@debian.org>

I've left out Denis Barbier, Joey and Colin as their contributions have 
been relatively minor (translation support, cleanups, small fixes).

Christian: do you agree with that? You probably have a better idea
of involvement in early years.

We could add "The Debian Installer team" as a catch-all for other
incidental contributors and translators, but I feel that in this case
a number of people have invested sufficient energy in the package
to be listed explicitly.

Cheers,
FJP
