Title:
  resolvconf doesn't create the correct /etc/resolv.conf file when
  static IP addresses are used

Status in resolvconf package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  By default, when installing ubuntu-desktop (and when installing some
  other packages as well), apt will also install dnsmasq as a
  dependency.  When dnsmasq is installed, and static IP addresses are
  used, resolv.conf creates a nearly empty /etc/resolv.conf file.  The
  file only contains entries for localhost and the search domain.  If
  static IP addresses are defined in /etc/network/interfaces, then
  shouldn't those DNS servers should be included in /etc/resolv.conf
  regardless of the presence of dnsmasq?
