My use case: Johan needs to access his laptop for doing backups and for remote desktop services. :)

I can think of a few reasons why resolvconf is suboptimal:
- It is not the standard/recommended solution for DNSSEC, which is optimally integrated with dhclient
- It requires additional packages for something that should be working already
- It is not supported by canonical

Also, a few questions arise, mostly from my rather outdated experiences with resolvconf:
- Would it require modifying the script?
- Would it work with both DHCP and PPP (see my side note)?
- Are all necessary variables available to the script?
- Ease of use: can I simply drop a similar script (which adapts to any host) in a folder?
- Is it aware of DHCP lease changes (reports new IP) or is it only concerned with DNS servers changes?

Resolvconf may well be a good workaround.
