According to the README file included in the Debian distribution, this
parameter is indeed deprecated, but it was managed by the "vpnc-connect"
wrapper script anyway.

Taking a quick look through the new "vpnc-wrapper" script, it seems
to me that if you add this line as the second line of that script
(i.e. underneath the #!/bin/sh line), it will prevent updates to the
/etc/resolv.conf file:

    INTERNAL_IP4_DNS=


Personally, I'd rather the maintainers had kept the DNSUpdate parameter.
Sigh.
