Public bug reported: Following Debian bug 318464, a script was added to resolvconf which helpfully overwrites dnscache's @ file with root servers if the there are no nameservers offered.
In my case, the system, which is a DNS server itself, does not use DHCP or other network-provided DNS servers, but runs both tinydns and dnscache on different interfaces. Naturally, the script finds no offered nameservers, overwrites the @ file, and screws over dnscache since we're behind a firewall which blocks outgoing DNS traffic. I'm not sure how to fix the issue (other than disabling the script somehow, or overwriting /etc/dnsroots.global, which is where djbdns keeps the list of root servers).
