I agree that network-manager should follow the example of many other
network configurer applications and do the following (expressed in sh
pseudocode):


    # Create resolvconf nameserver information record
    if [ -x /sbin/resolvconf ] ; then
        echo <nameserver info> | /sbin/resolvconf -a network-manager
    else
        ...futz with /etc/resolv.conf directly...
    fi

    # Delete resolvconf nameserver information record
    if [ -x /sbin/resolvconf ] ; then
        /sbin/resolvconf -d network-manager
    else
        ...futz with /etc/resolv.conf directly...
    fi

See the resolvconf package README for more information.  There is also
lots of example code in resolvconf-compatible packages.
