Here's an idea for eliminating the race. Ship /sbin/resolvconf without
x permission and have the postinst set the x permission only once
resolvconf is ready for use. (Dnsmasq and other clients generally test
for executable /sbin/resolvconf before calling it.)

Perhaps what is happening is: dnsmasq is running /sbin/resolvconf before
the resolvconf package's postinst has set up needed directories and
symlinks. /sbin/resolvconf thus aborts (with the error message) when it
sees that the needed directory is missing.
That is consistent with what I see
Please show the output of:
ls -lF /etc/resolvconf
ls -lF /lib/init/rw
ls -lF /lib/init/rw/resolvconf
After installing resolvconf:
sbasetest:~# ls -lF /etc/resolvconf
total 16
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 116 2009-08-13 13:58 interface-order
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-01-02 08:50
Package: resolvconf
Version: 1.45
Possible dependency problem between resolvconf 1.45 and dnsmasq 2.51-1
Steps to reproduce:
Install squeeze from daily build (I used debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso
from Jan 02 2010)
Install the system without configuring a network, without installing ssh
