Remove obsolete conffile /etc/bash_command_not_found (which leads to DOS if used)

[Daniel Hahler]

Binary package hint: command-not-found

Please purge/remove the obsolete conffile /etc/bash_command_not_found.

I wanted to test command-not-found (and had the file there from a previous installation), sourced it and it resulted in a Denial Of Service, since the file's code looks as follows:

command_not_found_handle() {
  command-not-found -- "$1" || return 127
}

Since "command-not-found" itself isn't found, this (apparently) spawns a lot of bash instances, until the computer locks up.

Using 0.2.34ubuntu3 on Karmic.
