From a resolver search standpoint, there is no problem appending the
domain entry to search field. But I believe the domain value in
resolv.conf is used to set the machine's domain name (hostname -d),
this is now lost in openresolv compared to what resolvconf did.
I have a server with a default internal IP address, and a local name
defined in /etc/hosts for one network interface, but the second
interface is on the public network. So I want the domain name of the
server to be set to the public name, not the default internal one.
According to hostname(1) the DNS domain name is fetched via
getaddrinfo(3) which in turn just used the information in /etc/resolv.conf
Also, note this in resolv.conf(5)
The domain and search keywords are mutually exclusive. If more than
one instance of these keywords is present, the last instance wins.
Lastly, looking over the original resolvconf code it just merges it all
into search as well so openresolv is mirroring the behaviour.
The eth0 and eth1 stanza's you mention are example files sent to
resolv.conf - not the final /etc/resolv.conf that ends up. Which local
resolver are you using? Some require a little configuration to use
openresolv.
I have bind9 running locally, and am using the libc resolver, so
there shouldn't be too much extra needed.
AFAIK bind9 on Debian doesn't have any resolvconf hooks other than
sending the loopback address as a nameserver to resolvconf. So to get
the stanzas working as described on my homepage, you'll need to
configure /etc/resolvconf.conf to write out two files for named and
update your named configuration to include these two files. See the
below links for details.

You should note that the sample Bind config listed probably isn't
suitable for Debian - it just serves as an example of how to include the
two files needed.
