hi, holger:

technically, /etc/resolv.conf is in /etc, not /usr :) and afaict, no
package owns /etc/resolv.conf; i believe, like /etc/hosts, that it's
written by debian-installer?  so there may not be an explicit policy
against this behavior.  there's a lot of software in debian that
rewrites /etc/resolv.conf (resolvconf, DHCP clients, etc) but i think
this is the only package that rewrites /etc/resolv.conf without asking
or through some action that the user takes.
