Which fix in resolvconf did you have in mind?  I fail to see what
resolvconf can do differently.

Not all packages depend on stuff in /usr/.  Only those that do will
have to handle missing /usr/.  This is nothing special for resolvconf,
it affect all packages running early in the boot, like packages
providing scripts in /etc/rcS.d/, ifupdown scripts or udev hooks.
Packages trying to run scripts early in the boot need to take this
into account, and squid is no exception there.
