Just put this line in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf :
---------------------
prepend domain-name-servers XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX,YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY,ZZZ.ZZZ.ZZZ.ZZZ;
---------------------
to preserve your change...

I think it is impossible to distinct $old_name_servers and
$manually_added_name_servers.

resolvconf package is your friend

This is the intended behaviour -- it can be changed via configuration. Also, this bug is from a neolithic version of Ubuntu. Therefore, I'm marking this as invalid.
