It depends a lot on the local config of the VPN you are using.
It can be a workaround for some user. It is a not fix for this
bug (460200).

In my university, it would be an error not to use the VPN provided
DNS servers (they have entries for some resources on the VPN that
are not visible to other external DNS).

It seems more logical to me to ask VPN resolvers first and other next.
And /etc/resolvconf/interface-order can be configured by the user to
fit its needs if required.
