OK, I didnt do that because I assumed that this is a debian/ubuntu
only thing. However, I could easily change it obviously.

(However, the fallbacks will still be necessary in case someone trashed
resolvconf by replacing the /etc/resolv.conf link with a file.)

yeah its a typo. As explained in the other mail, we dont have a _real_
interface name because the NMIP4Config used is a _merged_ one
(possibly from multiple interfaces).

You would need the resolvconf package from network-manager ppa [1] which
adds the ability to pass the resolv.conf file as an argument (vs. just
as stdin). If we agree on a fix we can either send it to stdin or
consider to apply the resolvconf changes to debian as well (i would
vote for the latter).
