the problem here is that if networkmanager is already running and hasnt found a resolvconf managed resolv.conf (or resolvconf isnt installed) and you then install resolvconf package, networkmanager will not notice that on shutdown and just think it should wipe the resolv.conf file.

so stopping NM before installing (or dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf to fix this post-mortem) does the trick. So the bug is that NM doesn't reconsider his idea to not-use resolvconf on shutdown. I will check if we can do this better.
