I think, if you read the dhcpcd docs, that you can set some stuff in
/etc/dhcpc to get custom stuff in /etc/resolv.conf.  Try tweaking
/etc/dhcpc/resolv.conf (while the interface is down) and then bring it
back up and see what happens.

This isn't so much of a problem because apt lets you see a diff of the
two files.  This is essential to remembering what you did :-).
