Comment 21 for bug 448095

I've tried your fix Sander and it sort of works. Which is to say that
resolvconf properly runs at boot. HOWEVER, it does not run correctly on
ifdown/ifup:

$ sudo ifdown eth0
[sudo] password for reardon:
resolvconf: Error: /lib/init/rw/resolvconf/interface is not a directory
resolvconf: Error: /lib/init/rw/resolvconf/interface is not a directory
run-parts: /etc/network/if-down.d/resolvconf exited with return code 1
There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid with pid 1166
killed old client process, removed PID file
