Bug#1032937: breaks upgrades if systemd-resolved can't run

Control: severity -1 serious

Let's make this RC, as it breaks updates.

The systemd-resolved package modifies a global config file
/etc/resolv.conf.  This breaks any name resolution if resolved is not
running.  Especially if it can't run at all.

| root at debian-sid:~# ls -al /etc/resolv.conf 
| lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Mar 14 14:03 /etc/resolv.conf -> /../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf
| root at debian-sid:~# getent hosts heise.de
| 2a02:2e0:3fe:1001:302:: heise.de
| root at debian-sid:~# systemctl stop systemd-resolved
| root at debian-sid:~# getent hosts heise.de
| root at debian-sid:~# 

Sorry, but the only person to know if resolved can be used is the admin,
not a package.
