all vars affected have been carefully checked to be quite certain
that they are definitely local
where variable is assigned the return value of a function/command, the
local "declaration" is deliberately done on a separate line, since
`local FOO` is actually treated itself as a command rather than a
declaration; will thus always cause $? to be zero, and thus if done on
the same line as such an assignment can not only clobber $? but in doing
so unintentionally blocks failure of a command from triggering the
expected exit from having `set -e`.
also, from testing, i have found that when assigning "${@}" this must be
done on a separate line confusingly as otherwise an error occurs.

Current versions of the project files are built upon versions published
and licensed by Daniel Baumann, but are modified copies of those files and
thus need to be marked as such per licensing requirements (afaik he did
not pass along ownership / licensing rights to anyone when he left the
project). We should also be careful to not be misrepresenting such
modified copies as being attributed to Daniel.
Adding a new copyright line referring to "The Debian Live team" should
suffice for this.
The authorship block in man pages has also similarly been updated.
Notes:
- tweaked a copy of daniel copyright lines stating 2014 instead of 2015.
both of these cases were in files that i had personally introduced in
some of my past merged commits that moved some code around. i don't know
why they stated 2014.
- binary_onie was introduced in 2018, so that has a 2018 date instead of
2016 unlike the rest.
- 'efi-image' is a 3rd-party (Canonical Ltd) work that we bundle, but it
has been modified by 674794a8f4 and
36a3ba7634 so I similarly added a
debian live copyright line.
- 'grub-cpmodules' is similar. it was only changed by the indentation fix
of 36a3ba7634 but modification is
modification, and this does help cover any possible future changes that
might be made.
These functions are specific to handling packages stored in the
cache, not other files. They are also always used with the same
`cache/packages.` prefix to the path.
