If you are using the "resolvconf" package I bet you have to trust what
the "/etc/revolv.conf" file warning says in uppercase about do not
editing the file because is dynamically changed ;-)
http://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration#The_resolvconf_program
OTOH, I never used this package before, I don't know what's for nor how
is configured so I can't give you any feedback on this other than reading
the available docs and man pages :-)
