That's about the *man pages* for resolvconf.

Those are the man pages (your "docs") for wheezy/jessie/stretch.
They should be on your various systems according to Debian codename.

Well, look again. In /usr/share/man/man8/, not /etc/.

Yes, /etc/resolv.conf is not a man page. And I don't suppose your
/etc/resolv.conf is missing from wheezy or horribly incomplete in
jessie, which is what you were claiming for the *docs*.
And note that none of this is about the man page for resolv.conf which
is in section (5) rather than (8) as it's about a file, not a command.
If you read the latter, you'll see that your line "search hosts nameserver"
doesn't make a lot of sense.
But that's a conversation we had last year.
