I think I tracked this down.

The Debian package builds with resolvconf support, in case users decide
to install resolvconf.
Due to this commit [1], this makes NM now assume that resolvconf is also
available during runtime, which is not the case by default on Debian.
That's obviously wrong.
NM should fallback to non-resolvconf mode, if the resolvconf binary was
not found during runtime.
