This is very strange. I just did (in 80 column xterms):

$ man resolvconf > /tmp/resolvconf-stretch

and the same for jessie and wheezy on the appropriate computers.

$ diff /tmp/resolvconf-[sj]*
3,4d2
< 
< 
278d275
< 
295,296d291
< 
< 
$ 

so a few blank lines have been removed between jessie and stretch.
As for wheezy not having a man page:

$ wc /tmp/resolvconf-wheezy 
  301  1748 14876 /tmp/resolvconf-wheezy
$ cat /etc/debian_version 
7.11
$ dpkg -l resolvconf
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name                Version        Architecture   Description

$ dpkg -L resolvconf | grep /man./
/usr/share/man/man8/resolvconf.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man5/interface-order.5.gz
$ 

So one can't help wondering exactly what is installed on your machines
if things don't match. Note that there are significant differences
between the different versions, so following the stretch/jessie man
page could give you problems on a wheezy machine. (I haven't checked
out backports.)

Cheers,
David.
