Adding the local recursive name server to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base (see comment #34) solved the problem of having an unusable /etc/resolv.conf at the time postfix copies it during boot. Together with restarting postfix whenever /etc/resov.conf changes solves my problems.
I would be happy to see a solution that works as well as my manual fixes added to the postfix and resolv.conf packages.
