I just tried the buster alpha 4 installer http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso in a VM. I selected only the ssh server and base tasks at the end. I noticed (because my DNS wasn't working) that when I got back into the system (via rescue disk), resolvconf was not installed.
To me this seems like a pretty essential package, though I guess NetworkManager and its ilk might provide an alternative. Was the omission of resolvconf an oversight?
