Problem with the resolvconf package / dhcp

Hello,
Im a fresh mint user and stumpled into a problem with the (I guess) resolvconf package.
My dhcp server is configured to push some search-domains. Prior to M13 I had Ubuntu and Fedora running, all with the old resolv.conf style and everything was fine. I could access servers by ping <hostname>. Then the harddisk broke and I was eager to try the latest Mint release. Unfortunatly this release comes with the new resolvconf package and I'am without a search domain and I've not been successful configuring it.
My system is a fresh installation, no upgrade or migration..
Any suggestions, links or hints for me on how to solve this extremly annoying issue?
Thanks in advance,
Marcus

creating a /etc/resolv.conf manually works this BUG around.

Hehe, but will this resolv.conf file be updated by the dhclient process? Im working with a mobile computer at work and from time to time at home with different search domains.
I got some hints to configure this in the /etc/network/interfaces file, but as my network connection is configured by the NetworkManager package, this file is empty except for the loopback device.
regards,
Marcus

Ok, I think I solved the problem.
I did an
run and activated the option that an link from /etc/resolv.conf to ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf was created. I guess this is some kind of legacy feature for people updating a machine from the old schema to the new one. Booting my box today I've got entries in the linked resolv.conf with my search domains.
I would like to suggest that this option will be activated by default. Someone know where to suggest this?

I think this can probably be changed to <RESOLVED>
I had the world of problems on my shoulders till I found this topic and the proposed solution to run dpkg-reconfigure worked perfectly
I too think this should be the default for a fresh install or at least a prompt of some sort should be issued during installation.
