You understand that in most of the cases discussed recently it isn't 
resolvconf changing resolv.conf, it's the dhcp client? One of the 
drivers for resolvconf was to have a central place to configure 
preferences so that people *wouldn't* have to deal with a number of 
other daemons modifying the resolv.conf file and overwriting each other.
