@Bert: Can you provide more information about the conflict with djbdns?

The dnscache-run package, one of the binary packages built from djbdns
source, is marked as Conflicting with resolvconf because it messes
directly with /etc/resolv.conf --- see Debian bug report #582755.  Its
maintainers haven't addressed this problem for several years, so from
the Ubuntu perspective we have to regard dnscache-run as a rough package
for do-it-youselfers and not something we need to worry much about here
(#959037).

Are there other parts of djbdns we need to look at?

  NM-controlled dnsmasq prevents other DNS servers from starting

Bug description:
  As described in
  https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-p-dns-
  resolving, network manager now starts a dnsmasq instance for local DNS
  resolving.

  That breaks the default bind9 and dnsmasq installations, for people that 
actually want to install a DNS server.
  Having to manually comment out "#dns=dnsmasq" in 
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf doesn't sound good, and if it stays 
that way, it should be moved to the bind9 and dnsmasq postinst scripts.

  Please make network-manager smarter so that it checks if bind9 or
  dnsmasq are installed, so that it doesn't start the local resolver in
  that case.
