They are specified in /etc/network/interfaces just as you instructed, and the dnsmasq-base package is installed. But when dnsmasq is installed then resolvconf generates an incorrect /etc/resolv.conf. If I remove the dnsmasq package then resolvconf works properly and generates the expected contents for /etc/resolv.conf.
This is a new bug with 16.04. It was not present under 14.04, and the contents of my /etc/network/interfaces file has not changed.

When dnsmask is installed, and static IP addresses are used, resolv.conf creates a nearly empty /etc/resolv.conf file. The file only contains entries for localhost and the search domain. If static IP addresses are defined in /etc/network/interfaces, then shouldn't those DNS servers should be included in /etc/resolv.conf regardless of the presence of dnsmask?
