Bug#844560: check for config file existence is wrong

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.226.1

zealot:~> pbuilder dumpconfig --configfile /dev/null
E: Config file /dev/null does not exist
zealot:~>

If it just tried to source it, rather than (presumably) pre-checking
it with "test", it would say something like this:

zealot:~> bash -c '. /dev/enoent'
bash: /dev/enoent: No such file or directory
zealot:~>

I think that would probably be preferable...

Thanks,
Ian.
