Public bug reported:

The functionality exists to allow users to revert to the traditional ifupdown 
package for network configuration. Alongside this, systemd's often-buggy 
resolver can be disabled. However, there's a logic error in the systemd-
supplied /etc/dhcp/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/resolved that prevents the system
from populating /etc/resolv.conf properly when systemd-resolved is disabled. 
The issue is here:

    if [ -x /lib/systemd/systemd-resolved ] ; then

Instead of checking to see if the systemd-resolved service is enabled or 
active, which would be the correct behaviour, this checks for the existence of
a binary, assuming that if it exists it's supposed to be used.

I've not tested this in the absence of resolvconf, but if systemd-resolved 
isn't enabled, it's difficult to imagine this code wanting to run. I've tested 
this with resolvconf and ifupdown driving dhclient, and it corrects the 
behaviour that was broken with the introduction of systemd-resolved.

I'm attaching a patch, and am also including it here for easy access:
