The libc resolver and bind's named are indeed flawed and djbdns looks like a better way to access DNS. However, resolv.conf and named.conf handling still needs to be fixed for the sake of those applications that use the libc resolver.
I've fixed the handling on my own system using the resolvconf package. However, because the fix uses subdirectories of /run/, I'll wait for /run/ to become "official" before trying to put resolvconf components where they belong (... into libc6, bind, pppconfig, etc.).
