While not the focus of this bug, (and I can't speak for anyone else
here) I have used resolvconf (actually openresolv) with dnsmasq to
properly handle dns for VPN connections. I have a home network with
internal DNS (there is several machines on the network), when I connect
(via VPNC) to my office network, there is again an internal DNS with
many private hostnames. Openresolv allows me to still interact with
both.

I have recently switched to Ubuntu, and have not gotten openresolv
installed (yet), but I already miss that functionality. NetworkManager
(or rather the Ubuntu network management stack) does not seem to handle
this particular configuration at all well. Openresolv would (in theory)
re-enable it. The debian resolvconf is missing some key functionality,
but openresolv is basically a drop-in replacement.
