I could be wrong, but as far as I know,  the dns-nameservers  is not a 
valid declaration for /etc/network/interfaces, at least I couldn't find 
it in the interfaces manpage.  If the nameserver addresses are static, 
you don't need the resolvconf package.  All you have to do is set up 
/etc/resolv.conf.
