Obviously the presence of material in the "base" file should have no
effect on the processing of material from /etc/network/interfaces. Are
you still sure that material from /e/n/i is sometimes incorrectly
omitted from the /etc/resolv.conf file?

Title:
  on startup gateway & dns- options in /etc/network/interfaces are not
  always set

Bug description:
  recently i have upgraded 4 VM-based systems to 16.04.1 LTS (Xenial
  Xerus). on startup, settings within /etc/network/interfaces do not
  appear to be taking effect reliably. specifically, the gateway and
  dns- settings have been problematic for me. on subsequent restarts,
  all or some of the settings take effect other times the gateway is set
  and the dns- options are not set. very problematic when the default
  gateway is not added to the routing table.

  the dns- settings were a bit easier to illustrate the issue. i added a
  comment to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base (# base) &
  etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail (# tail).

  $ cat /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/*
  # base
  # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
  #     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
  # tail

  on startup on 1 of the systems showed this:
  $ cat /etc/resolv.conf
  # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
  #     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
  # tail

  you can see the "# base" comment wasn't added.
  let me know if i can add anymore details or if this should be posted 
somewhere else.
