@Toby: Thanks for your info.  You didn't include the output of "cat
/etc/resolv.conf" but I reckon it's the same as
/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original.

Based on the information we have so far I can only guess where the bug
might be.

It would be useful if we could rule out the possibility that the initial
answer to the "resolvconf/linkify-resolvconf" debconf question was
"false" and so I repeat what I said in comment #26: let's change the
postinst so that it doesn't fiddle with the answer to linkify-
resolvconf; instead let'd create a new question, resolvconf/linkify-
done, which gets changed from "false" to "true" on linkification and
whose value being "true" prevents linkification being repeated on
subsequent postinst runs.

Having said this, I think it's more probable that the initial answer to
"linkify-resolvconf" was "true", that resolvconf.postinst correctly
created the symlink and set the answer to "false", and that some other
package subsequently replaced the symlink with a file.  In Toby's case
the finger of suspicion points toward the Cisco AnyConnect client.

Anyone else happen to have the Cisco AnyConnect client installed?

Is Toby or anyone else connecting to the VPN before resolvconf is
(fully) installed?
