Hi, systemd-resolved is now in experimental as a new package, and if there are no huge breakages (it has provides/conflicts/replaces: resolvconf and installs the symlinks) it will make it to unstable too at some point soon. So the plan to add the Recommends you mentioned sounds good to me. -- Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
