Title:
  README has wrong location for local user new pastebin conf files

Status in pastebinit:
  Fix Released
Status in pastebinit package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  File /usr/share/doc/pastebinit/README says:

  "To enable support for private pastebins, first you will need to know the fields
  that are in use by the pastebin when posting data.

  Add a file in the ~/pastebin.d or /etc/pastebin.d/ directory"

  but the right directory to add local user pastebin conf files is:

  ~/.pastebin.d

  This extract from /usr/bin/pastebinit confirms it:

      def preloadPastebins():
          # Check several places for config files:
          #  - global config in /etc/pastebin.d
          #  - for source checkout, config in the checkout
          #  - user's overrides in ~/.pastebin.d
          # Files found later override files found earlier.
          pastebind = {}
          for confdir in ['/usr/share/pastebin.d', '/etc/pastebin.d',
                          '/usr/local/etc/pastebin.d',
                          os.path.expanduser('~/.pastebin.d'),
                          os.path.join(
                              os.path.dirname(
                                  os.path.realpath(__file__)), 'pastebin.d')]:
