No. Such warnings would:

1) not be seen, since they would show on the terminal, which is typically 
hidden during upgrades.
2) need to be a debconf dialog to be seen, but debconf should be used to ask 
questions, not show warnings
3) we're past freeze.

Broken images, while they are very annoying and a sad fact, is not
something we'll ever be able to avoid. If things are broken in this
case, too bad. People ought to know better than to use custom images
from stangers, and people should know better than to remove
/etc/resolv.conf without knowing the implications.

Bugs happen, too; but this one is not one we can work around by changes
in NetworkManager. Clean installs of Quantal *will* work, and so will
upgrades from "officially supported" Ubuntu images.

There are options though. If we can reliably verify whether resolv.conf
is a symlink to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf; then we can case this and
make sure we fallback to writing the data directly to /etc/resolv.conf
(and thus creating the file if it's not there).
