After installing resolvconf:

sbasetest:~# ls -lF /etc/resolvconf

Further information:

*Before* installing resolvconf  (and before installing dnsmasq), the
output to ls -lF /lib/init/rw is:

total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  60 2010-01-03 10:53 sendsigs.omit.d/

The other outputs give a "no such file or directory" response.

*During* install:

aptitude (and apt-get) install

both prompt me with installing the following new packages:
dbus dnsmasq dnsmasq-base libdbus-1-3 libexpat1 libidn11 resolvconf


Both apt and aptitude display the resolvconf: Error:... text.
