[Bug 1892798] Re: systemd package missing resolvconf(8) compatibility symlink, and a Provides: resolvconf

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

I'm not quite sure what is the point of wireguard package / wireguard-
tools on Ubuntu.

Our kernel ships wireguard modules by default anyway, and one can
configure wireguard via networkd and soon via netplan. Which is our
default tooling to interact with the wireguard kernel module.

wg / wg-quick seem like specific to wireguard tooling, which should not
be integrated or used by default on Ubuntu. Since all of the regular and
standard networking tooling now supports wireguard out of the box.

** Changed in: wireguard (Ubuntu)

Title:
  systemd package missing resolvconf(8) compatibility symlink, and a
  Provides: resolvconf

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in wireguard package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  By default Ubuntu now uses systemd to manage the nameservers in
  resolv.conf, so resolvconf and openresolv seem to be redundant.
  However, it appears that systemd's resolvectl is compatable with
  resolvconf style commands if symlinked as resolvconf.

  I'm not really sure how deb packaging works, but if it possible to
  check for the resolvconf command, and if not found just symlink
  /usr/bin/resolvectl to /usr/sbin/resolvconf then wg-quick will work
  without additional packages.

  See
  https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/man1/resolvectl.1#compatibility%20with%20resolvconf(8)
  for more info.

  Apologies if there is a better place to direct this info.
