If you desire to set custom variables then you would create that file and set those variables in that file. Why should the file exist in a default installation that does not need to set any of those variables? But it is available for that use if you wish to use it. > Does /etc/init.d/resolvconf even look at this file? The /etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc (and resolvconf-update-bind) script reads it. > I suggest creating /etc/default/resolvconf with options that are > commented out. Either that of fix the documentation. I disagree. If there isn't anything to put in there by default then it is much nicer to not create the file. If a local admin wishes to customize the file then they can easily do so. Creating the file with comments makes things less nice. Because if I have customzed the file then upon every package upgrade it requires a prompt as to what to do about the file upon upgrade and a possible manual merge step. Including the file makes things less nice than simply allowing it as a possibility. As is often the case one person wants one thing and another person often wants the opposite thing and it is impossible to please both parties.
