I still don't follow. There were no significant changes to how NM
handles /etc/resolv.conf from the version in 12.04 to the version in
12.10; and certainly nothing that would cause things to be handled
differently if /etc/resolv.conf is not a symlink or is absent.

The IP address change has no impact to this -- if people decided to
break their setup by making resolv.conf a standard file, by removing it
or otherwise, we should also be respectful of *that* and ultimately not
revert their changes (which may or may not have been done for a good
reason).

Can you further explain what you mean? Provide an example setup, or even
a patch?

However, there really *should not be* any such changes to the postinst
or any NM maintainer scripts to touch /etc/resolv.conf; it's just not
the right place to do these things. Instead, if we need to cover an
extra case where NM is failing to do the right thing, that fix can go in
src/dns-manager/nm-dns-manager.c or one of the other source files in
that directory.
