** Description changed:

  The resolvconf package comes with /etc/dhcp/dhclient-enter-
- hooks.d/resolvconf which convieniently undefines make_resolve_conf
- (previously defined by dhclient-script) and calls resolvconf.
+ hooks.d/resolvconf which, if /sbin/resolvconf is present, undefines
+ make_resolv_conf() (previously defined by dhclient-script) and calls
+ resolvconf.
  
  However, the hook checks if /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink even though
  /sbin/resolvconf already handles this.
  
  This is problematic because it never undefines the make_resolv_conf
  function which dhclient-script defines itself.
  
- For me, the expect behavior would be /etc/resolv.conf never changing if
- resolvconf is installed and the file is not a symlink.
+ For me, the expected behavior would be /etc/resolv.conf never changing
+ if resolvconf is installed and /etc/resolv.conf is not a symlink.
  
  At the very least, I think this behavior should be documented in the man
  pages for resolvconf.  Furthermore, debian does not implement this patch
  and it exists starting in 12.04 until current.
  
  As far as I can tell, there's absolutely no reason to check it twice if
  resolvconf already implements it.
  
  It was introduced by: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-
  branches/ubuntu/trusty/resolvconf/trusty/revision/32/etc/dhcp/dhclient-
  enter-hooks.d/resolvconf
