I can't say for sure whether resolvconf will remove cleanly without
requiring other reconfiguration, sorry.  It should, but I don't know that
this has been well tested for the 17.10 case.

After removal of the resolvconf package, /etc/resolv.conf should be a
symlink to ../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf and name resolution
should work.

Title:
  bad symlink "/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original"

Status in resolvconf package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 17.10 amd_64
  resolvconf 1.79ubuntu8

  The symlink at "/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original" points to
  "../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf". This is a broken link as
  the relative path does not exist. This causes resolvconf to improperly
  (re-)generate "/run/resolvconf/resolv.conf". The link should probably
  instead point to the absolute path "/run/systemd/resolve/stub-
  resolv.conf".
