[Bug 999337] Re: resolvconf(8): misleading description of dns-* options

[Anthony DeChiaro]

@Thomas: Thanks, yes I actually discovered that after finding this bug.
The resolv.conf.d/base solution is working just fine for me.

Title:
  resolvconf(8): misleading description of dns-* options

Status in “resolvconf” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “resolvconf” source package in Quantal:
  Fix Released
Status in “resolvconf” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I noticed a minor discrepancy between the resolvconf documentation and
  "reality".

  On the one hand, the resolvconf(8) man page's discussion about the
  /etc/network/interfaces file says:

     For each other valid resolv.conf(5) configuration option,  you  can  include,
     in  the stanza, one line beginning with that option name with a dns- prefix.

  , and the resolv.conf(5) page lists the following configuration
  options: "nameserver", "domain", "search", "sortlist", and "options".

  On the other hand, the /etc/network/if-up.d/000resolvconf file
  actually only includes support for the first four of those
  configuration options -- that is, support for the "options" option is
  not included.

  (The resolvconf(8) and 000resolvconf files I'm looking at come from
  resolvconf 1.63ubuntu11 (Precise).)
