Yeah this can get confusing, there are two config files - resolv.conf
and resolvconf.conf and the command resolvconf.

resolvconf reads resolvconf.conf to generate resolv.conf

As suggested you can disable the generation of resolv.conf or you can
adjust resolvconf.conf so that it generates resolv.conf the way you want.
