Please spend some more time figuring out how it came onto your system. I
think this is a key aspect here. You appear to believe that the
forwarding behavior was opt-out, because you do not perceive the
installation of resolvconf as opting in.
Given this command:
$ apt rdepends --no-suggests --no-conflicts --no-enhances --no-replaces
resolvconf | grep -v '^ '
resolvconf
Reverse Depends:
Recommends: resolvconf-admin
Recommends: whereami
Depends: netctl
Recommends: rdnssd
Recommends: debian-edu-config
Recommends: education-common
Recommends: ceni
It may be possible that it was installed transitively via rdnssd, which
is recommended by ifupdown-ng. I find it unlikely that LRob had any of
the others packaged installed on the system.
In any case, a command like `apt why resolvconf` may give a more helpful
answer than trying to figuring it out via rdepends.
Bye!
