Even though I was aware of issues with rdnssd, I didn't know about this
RC bug. I'll check it.

Problem is, rdnssd is required in an IPv6-only network with
autoconfiguration in order to fill /etc/resolv.conf, or a dual-stack
network with only autoconfigured IPv6 DNS. IME, installing resolvconf
solves the competition between the different DNS sources (RDNSS, DHCP
client, Network Manager...) for resolv.conf.
