Yes, that's why some people recommended resolvconf to moderate
its (and other packages') behaviour. That's what resolvconf does.

No, nor to unintentionally cause a wild goose chase by making a
reporting error. Nor to have your thread derailed by people posting
their favourite purported "solutions" that have already been
discredited here.

OTOH I think it's understandable that the thread is prolonged by
well-intentioned suggestions to adopt the "official" Debian way
of handling this with resolvconf. Am I the only person surprised
that there wasn't more advocacy for systemd-resolved.service
as well.

Cheers,
David.
