That's ok-ish. It would be the short-hack temporary solution and
likely suitable for Jessie.

That's a no-go IMHO. (And Pre-Depends would need a discussion first on
debian-devel.)
The common path most tools go is to check for resolvconf's existence
(IIRC /sbin/resolvconf) and decide upon that which path to go. Not
sure which dependency on resolvconf is common. I'd expect either
Suggests and/or Enhances, maybe Recommends, but it shouldn't be a hard
dependency to leave people the choice to use resolvconf or not.

AFAIK yes.
