Curtin fails to deploy when /etc/resolv.conf is missing

I'm trying to deploy an image[1] which does not contain /etc/resolv.conf. Curtin fails when it tries to make a copy of /etc/resolv.conf since the file is missing. Adding a blank /etc/resolv.conf fixes the issue although the image still fails to deploy due to other reasons.
