Is this a good idea?

Package: netbase
Version: 4.33
Severity: normal

A while after installing both insserv and resolvconf I began having
problems with name lookup.  I tracked it down to resolvconf not picking
up the DNS settings as reported by my DHCP server--/etc/resolv.conf was
left empty.

So I'd suggest the init info in `/etc/init.d/networking` is modified so
that resolvconf is started first.  My problem went away as soon as I
changed the init info to the following:

  ### BEGIN INIT INFO
  # Provides:          networking
  # Required-Start:    mountkernfs ifupdown resolvconf $local_fs
  # Required-Stop:     ifupdown $local_fs
  # Default-Start:     S
  # Default-Stop:      0 6
  # Short-Description: Raise network interfaces.
  ### END INIT INFO

/M
