I can confirm the bug.

The resolvconf package is installed and the network-manager package is
not.

Relevant part of /etc/network/interfaces:
----
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 130.225.51.87
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 130.225.51.0
        broadcast 130.225.51.255
        gateway 130.225.51.1
        # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
        dns-nameservers 130.225.51.16 130.225.51.19 130.225.51.99
        dns-search es.aau.dk
----

After boot /etc/resolv.conf contains:
-----
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
-----

Doing 'ifdown eth0' followed by 'ifup eth0' will do the right thing.

Conclusion:
=========

The resolvconf package works fine if the interface is brought up via the
command line, but during boot it writes a useless /etc/resolv.conf file.

The ifup command takes a long time to complete which may hint at further
problems.
