Public bug reported:

Release: Precise
Architecture: amd64

This is something I noticed when recently doing updates on my Precise test 
server. Before I had set up a /etc/resolv.conf (cannot remember when but maybe 
the installer did) so it would point to the correct nameserver and search 
list(s). And that was left alone all the time (on a server installation). But 
the  recent update to resolvconf changed that and the dns configuration was 
dropped (because the static ip setup in /etc/network/interfaces did not have 
any dns-* keywords).
Now this is simple to fix by adding dns-nameserver and dns-search to the 
interfaces file, but (assuming many servers have a static ip setup and not 
dhcp) could cause a lot of fallout for upgrades.
