It was. I put Jessie on my laptop to see what it was like. It's running Wheezy now. And all my troubles with Jessie are gone.

On Wheezy, and everything back to Sarge, you put them in /etc/resolv.conf, delete/disable resovlconf (if any), and quit worrying about ham-fisted software scribbling all over your config file.
On my laptop, there's a static nameserver address used by eth0. wlan0 uses that too, when it can. But, IIRC, it's smart enough to go looking around if the local network is gone.

Not very often. But it's scheduled for an outing tomorrow morning. I can check wlan0's roaming abilities then. If it hits an alien DHCP server, it may scribble all over my resolv.conf. We'll see.
