I have filed a wishlist item against pppconfig asking
that the dynamic resolv.conf alteration by the 0dns scripts
be made optional.
Even if nothing is done about this, it doesn't matter too much
because pppconfig is Priority: optional. If your /etc is ro
and you can't disable resolv.conf futzing then don't install
pppconfig.

Can ppp ever run before /var is mounted? If not then your
solution is OK.
Eventually, the symlink should be eliminated.
