In the following, where you write '/etc/resolv-update.d' I guess you
meant to say '/etc/network/resolv-update.d' since /etc/network is
where ifupdown stores its configuration files.

To change my suggestion into yours:
* Move files from /run/resolver/interfaces/ to /run/network/resolv.d/
* Move files from /etc/resolver/update.d to /etc/network/resolv-update.d
* Make the latter scripts get their resolv.conf data from stdin
instead of from the /run/network/resolv.d/* files
* Rename "/etc/init.d/resolver reload" to "push-resolvers"
* Make ifupdown call push-resolvers instead of using a script in
/etc/network/if-up.d.
The only significant difference is that you would put everything in
the ifupdown package. Why do that?

I don't understand this. Why do you want ifupdown not to exit
until while ppp or dhclient are running?
if(up|down) wasn't designed to run as a daemon.
