My usual strategy is to let the Debian installer set the dns server to
IP address of the router, and configure the router to query 8.8.8.8/1.1.1.1.
It's not ideal if you have a router that doesn't "belong" to you,
ie that you can't configure yourself.

Resolvconf squirrels that original address away in
/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original so that it can revert to it
after you have left other networks/VPNs etc. So I guess that, at
worst, you can just write in whatever you want into that file.
Check it is still there after the next boot, and also check
/etc/resolv.conf (which is a symlink) to make sure that it used it ok.

Cheers,
David.
