[Bug 1713149] [NEW] resolv.conf symlink is broken after clean debootstrap

[Stéphane Graber]

Public bug reported:

Reproducer:
 - debootstrap artful artful

Expected:
 - "chroot artful cat /etc/resolv.conf" doesn't fail.
 - /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink to something valid in /run

Actual:
 - "chroot artful cat /etc/resolv.conf" gets you "No such file or directory"
 - /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink to "../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf"
 - "../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf" is a symlink to "../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf" which is an invalid symlink as that points to /run/run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf" rather than "/run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf"

This causes all LXC image creation to fail, causing autopkgtest to fail
(as noticed by the kernel team) and has been causing all images to fail
building on the upstream build system for the past two days.
