Hello, Closing my side of this thread: I have no more time to spend on it.
Andrej's proposal of 12 February is, in my view, the right outcome: resolvconf should not reconfigure other software, and unbound should behave the same with or without resolvconf, with an explicit recursive or forwarding choice (a separate package or a toggle). That is exactly the point I was making. A recursive resolver silently turned into a forwarder by the mere presence of another package is unexpected and error-prone, with the privacy and security consequences already described in this bug. If the maintainers prefer to keep the current default, that is their call. I have moved on to other things and no longer rely on this setup; one day I may write my own resolver and the question will be moot for me. Thanks to everyone who took the time.
