Or even "the machine", but then I notice the "your connection" in
the last line. Maybe it should be:
_Description: Should resolvconf be executed on startup?
If this machine moves around, resolvconf will take care of updating the
forwarders that its current connection recommends.
But speaking as a non-laptop-user without resolvconf installed, I'm
feeling completely out of my depth here. What options is it
proposing /sbin/resolvconf should be executed with, and under what
circumstances? Does it mean "Should bind restarts trigger a
resolvconf update?"?
The relevance of the long description is also unclear: if I answer
"no", will resolvconf therefore _not_ take care of DNS forwarder
settings? If I answer "yes", will it "take care of" the settings by
changing them or by keeping them the same?
