Public bug reported: The resolvconf package comes with /etc/dhcp/dhclient-enter- hooks.d/resolvconf which convieniently undefines make_resolve_conf (previously defined by dhclient-script) and calls resolvconf.
However, the hook checks if /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink even though /sbin/resolvconf already handles this. This is problematic because it never undefines the make_resolv_conf function which dhclient-script defines itself. For me, the expect behavior would be /etc/resolv.conf never changing if resolvconf is installed and the file is not a symlink. At the very least, I think this behavior should be documented in the man pages for resolvconf. Furthermore, debian does not implement this patch and it exists starting in 12.04 until current. As far as I can tell, there's absolutely no reason to check it twice if resolvconf already implements it.
