[oe] [meta-oe][V2][PATCH] debootstrap: change license to MIT

The closest thing to a license is found in the http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_1.0.92_copyright

The verbage looks very close to MIT so seems reasonable make to change the license to MIT instead of
creating a custom entry for debootstrap-custom-license. This follows what Redhat, Mandriva and Suse have for this package. (see rpmfind)

the difference between the MIT and the copyright files are:

-This package was debianized by Anthony Towns <ajt at debian.org> on
-Tue, 30 Jan 2001 10:54:45 +1000.
-
-It was written from scratch for Debian by Anthony Towns <ajt at debian.org>
-based loosely on the code for constructing base tarballs as part of the
-boot-floppies package.
-
-Copyright:
-
-Copyright (c) 2001-2005 Anthony Towns
+Copyright <YEAR> <COPYRIGHT HOLDER>

will fix: WARNING: debootstrap-1.0.67-r0 do_populate_lic: debootstrap: No generic license file exists for: debootstrap-custom-license in any provider
