I think a better change is to report the error on opening the file,
then turn off debugging mode but allow script execution to continue.
Something like this:
$ bash --debugger foo
foo: /usr/local/share/bashdb/bashdb-main.inc: No such file or directory
foo: warning: cannot start debugger; debugging mode disabled
