[Bug 1279760] Re: Take into account the debotstrapped environment

[lanzz]

It seems the problem is actually caused by the true default answer to
the resolvconf/link-tail-to-original question. Without it, the host's
original /etc/resolv.conf is still preserved as
/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original, but resolv.conf.d/tail is NOT
linked to it, so it never ends up in the /etc/resolv.conf produced by
resolvconf.

I've found a comment by jdthood (resolvconf's maintainer) that the
resolvconf/link-tail-to-original should default to false and is a
candidate for removal in a future version of resolvconf:

remix/+bug/1063639/comments/16

It seems this still isn't the case, as the latest resolvconf still
contains the true default answer:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/resolvconf

Interestingly, the "ubuntu" branch of the Debian resolvconf git repo has
always contained a false answer for that question:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=resolvconf/resolvconf.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/ubuntu

Title:
  Take into account the debotstrapped environment

Status in “resolvconf” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When installing resolvconf inside the debotstrapped system it will
  create /etc/resolv.conf.d/original with the DNS servers available on
  the host system. This will add the unwanted DNS servers to the
  debostrapped system.

  Resolution: don't inherit the DNS servers from the host system when
  installing resolvconf inside the debostrapped chroot.
