The resolvconf package already does something like this, and it _can_ be
utilized by user scripts, though it is not very well documented and,
maybe even worse, not very well "promoted". Also, you can achieve a
similar effect by running dnsmasq with a few simple scripts on top,
because the "upstream" dnsmasq resolver file is configurable.

But when I think about the normal way of resolver configuration
I feel, for once, some sympathy for Len^H^H^H the one whose name shall
not be said here.
