The point is that if /usr needs special handling for resolvconf scripts (which, as you say, happen to run before /usr is mounted at startup) a fix in resolvconf would solve this issue for every package installing resolvconf scripts.

Otherwise we would need to catch it in any package using invoke-rc.d in resolvconf hooks.
