Title:
  resolvconf should only convert /etc/resolv.conf to a symlink at
  initial installation time

Status in “resolvconf” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  One thing described in the MIR for resolvconf promotion in Precise is that resolvconf won't attempt to convert /etc/resolv.conf on upgrade.
  Doing a local test here actually shows that to be wrong, so anyone currently assuming that making /etc/resolv.conf a regular file again will turn off resolvconf will have a bad surprise next time we update the package.
