dpkg would tell you so if you wouldn't cut it's output with the
construct 'dpkg -l | grep <pattern>' instead of 'dpkg -l pattern' ;)
$ dpkg -l resolvconf

(no description available)
If you look at the pipes and slashes you can tell what each character
means. In my case it's
Desired = Install
Status = Not
(hmm, this is curious, I'll have to investigate...)

AFAIK that file should be managed by Network Manager (you mentioned you
installed it), but are you using NM to connect or some other means?
