Actually it seems that it is resolvconf that prevents dhclient from
updating /etc/resolv.conf. According to the dhclient-script(8) man
page, there may be hooks to change the default behavior by defining
the shell function make_resolv_conf. And this is what resolvconf
appears to do *unconditionally*.

So, either resolvconf should make sure that /etc/resolv.conf is a
symlink to /etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf, or it shouldn't modify
the default behavior.
