Bug description:
  [Impact]
  This breaks oem-config installs because after running oem-config-firstboot, /etc/resolv.conf's symlink might be replaced by a regular file.

  [Test case]
  The DGX server install process uses oem-config to setup certain settings.  We are seeing that oem-config-firstboot is replacing the /etc/resolv.conf symlink to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf with a hard file at /etc/resolv.conf.

  This was confirmed by booting in single user mode after a fresh
  install, and seeing the symlink is still there.  Then go thru oem-
  config-firstboot, and find that the symlink is no longer there when
  that is done.

  We have to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf" to restore that
  symlink.

  [Regression potential]
  This may regress by failing to recognize a case where resolvconf is not in use, or triggering a false-positive (resolvconf is not in use, by an install is tricked into thinking it is and removes resolv.conf). Corruption of /etc/resolv.conf or /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf should be considered as possible regressions from this SRU.
