I think I've fixed this with the latest set of commits:

(1) The option is now called --packager-config, and it is common to
all backends.  ie. Both yum and pacman use the same option, which
means you can immediately use this from libguestfs.

https://github.com/libguestfs/febootstrap/commit/b8cbe191d0f03af1f6a42a07795995b16d5a8c24

(2) The code now checks that the config file exists, and makes the
path absolute (so that relative paths will work).
