This is  consistent with what I am seeing. Also, this may be of 
interest to you, there is a file /etc/resolv.conf.tmp on my system when 
resolvconf is not installed:

    # Generated by NetworkManager
    nameserver 192.168.1.1

Yet another workaround seems to be to copy this file over to 
/etc/resolv.conf to get temporary internet access to install resolvconf 
(if it is not in your apt cache).
