I have noticed this as well, but I haven't been able to determine that
this makes a difference functionally. If you know of one, let us know
and I'll look at getting resolvconf fixed.

That's correct, but this is not the reason it was added. The reasons
include:
- nothing should be writing to /etc at runtime; it's a bug that causes Ubuntu
to not work out of the box with a read-only rootfs
- even when not booting with a read-only rootfs, there is a race condition
between mounting / rw and running dhclient, the latter being triggered as soon
as a network device is found by udev. (This was worked around last cycle in
dhclient, but it works by making the boot slower than it should be.)
- there are half a dozen different packages in the archive that all have
support for updating /etc/resolv.conf directly under various circumstances.
This is unnecessary duplication of code, they probably all have different bugs,
they certainly don't coordinate with one another, and they generally don't do
the right thing in the case of multiple network devices.
This is a deliberate architectural change in Ubuntu that was discussed
and agreed at UDS. If there are specific technical problems with this
behavior, please report them as bugs and we will fix them; but the
dependency isn't going to be dropped.
