Great. Thanks for confirming.
I say "almost clean", because a recent update managed to break my resolver configuration: "/etc/resolv.conf" came up completely empty, in spite of "/etc/network/interfaces" having the requisite "dns-nameservers" and "dns-search" lines for my primary interface (eth0). The "resolvconf" package is definitely installed, but I'm guessing some new interaction between "systemd", "NetworkManager", and possibly "resolvconf" is, er, ah, unfortunate.
Unless you actively enabled systemd-networkd/systemd-resolveconfd, they don't become active on their own. And NetworkManager is not related to systemd. I do recommend setting up systemd-networkd/systemd-resolveconfd for headless machines though as it makes network configuration rather painless. Adrian -- .''`.
