Resolvconf isn't really comparable to the update-* utilities. Unlike them, resolvconf takes information on its standard input. And unlike them, it run during "normal" use of the machine, not at administration time. The update-* programs usually modify files in /etc/, whereas one of the reasons for creating resolvconf is to avoid modifying files in /etc/. -- Thomas Hood
