When using reportbug to report a bug against devscripts and there is
no .devscripts configuration file in the home directory, the script
/usr/share/bug/devscripts/script prints a harmless, but a bit annoying,
warning. Consider the last line in the following output from reportbug:

$ reportbug -d -O -s 'test' -S minor -T none --body='test' \
  -p devscripts >/dev/null
*** Welcome to reportbug.  Use ? for help at prompts. ***

egrep: /home/haakonst/.devscripts: No such file or directory


The following simple patch is supposed to avoid the warning. It
also considers the case where the file /etc/devscripts.conf has
been removed.
