> should /etc/resolvconf/packaging-event.d/dnsmasq be a conffile?

Good question!

I am a bit embarrassed to have to admit that I didn't really
consider this issue.  I just assumed that the hook scripts
should be conffiles (as the update scripts are) and located
in /etc/.  Whereas I now (thinking about it) realize that they
should probably be non-conffiles and located in /usr/lib/,
since they are bits of packaging plumbing which get used once
or twice in the life of an installation and most probably don't
need to be customized by the admin.

The same could be said of many scripts currently in /etc, starting
with initscripts.  But that doesn't mean we should do the same.

I will change the infrastructure in the upcoming resolvconf 1.55
so that the directory /usr/lib/resolvconf/dpkg-event.d is used
instead of the /etc location mentioned previously.

Please consider my wish revised accordingly.  I.e., please include
the script as /usr/lib/resolvconf/dpkg-event.d/dnsmasq.
