Yes, I had a debconf dialog in mind, but I didn't know what Ubuntu's
policies are for such warnings.
I accept your arguments. Thanks for considering the proposal.
I don't think that NM should write to /etc/resolv.conf if the standard
symlink isn't there. That *would* be the kind of disrespect for admin
choices that we all want to avoid. I was just talking to someone at a
cloud services company. This company provides Ubuntu 12.04-derived
images *without* a symlink at /etc/resolv.conf but *with* resolvconf
installed. Having resolvconf installed stops other packages from futzing
with the static file they want at /etc/resolv.conf. (The only problem
with this arrangement in Precise is that resolvconf prints a spurious
error message on stderr. In Quantal resolvconf only prints a warning
message on stderr and this can easily be suppressed by means of a
setting in /etc/default/resolvconf, so the company should be happy with
Quantal.)
