Absolutely not. We're not going to add vendor-specific hacks for broken
distros that are unable to include the standard interface for this kind
of thing, resolvconf(8). This is a pretty clear case of downstream being
broken.

> Unfortunately systemd's resolved's resolvctl is not compatible with
Debian's/Ubuntu's historical resolvconf.

First of all, we're not talking about systemd's resolvectl. We're
talking about systemd's resolvconf compatibility symlink which provides
the same interface as openresolv or the debian resolvconf monster.

With that clarified, if you still think there's a problem due to
Debian's resolvconf using an interface prefix list, I think you're
incorrect there too. Firstly, openresolv doesn't act that way, and
things work fine. Secondly, systems that have moved to systemd-resolved
(that is, Ubuntu itself) have in the process _broken_ resolvconf anyway.
Replacing broken resolvconf with one that is less broken -- even if it
doesn't do priority interface prefixes -- is still a marked improvement.
And thirdly, every script I've seen that uses resolvconf actually
continues to work fine with systemd's compatibility symlink of
resolvconf; if any you see don't, why not fix them?

So, in other words, I don't think you've presented a very compelling
argument at all. I can't see any correct technical reasoning in what you
wrote. It seems like adding the resolvconf compatibility symlink is a
marked improvement over the current broken status quo.

** Summary changed:

- eliminating resolvconf/openresolv dependencies
+ systemd package missing resolvconf(8) compatibility symlink, and a Provides: 
resolvconf

Title:
  systemd package missing resolvconf(8) compatibility symlink, and a
  Provides: resolvconf

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in wireguard package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  By default Ubuntu now uses systemd to manage the nameservers in
  resolv.conf, so resolvconf and openresolv seem to be redundant.
  However, it appears that systemd's resolvectl is compatable with
  resolvconf style commands if symlinked as resolvconf.

  I'm not really sure how deb packaging works, but if it possible to
  check for the resolvconf command, and if not found just symlink
  /usr/bin/resolvectl to /usr/sbin/resolvconf then wg-quick will work
  without additional packages.

  See
  
https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/man1/resolvectl.1#compatibility%20with%20resolvconf(8)
  for more info.

  Apologies if there is a better place to direct this info.
