Yes, the contents of my /etc/resolv.conf is the same as
/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original

I'm pretty sure I didn't manually answer any questions about resolv.conf
when setting things up. I did a standard linux mint install and then at
a later point installed the Cisco AnyConnect client from the
university's website.

I can confirm that the AnyConnect VPN client does indeed muck with
resolv.conf when a VPN connection is established. It moves resolv.conf
to resolv.conf.vpnbackup and puts its own resolv.conf in place. When you
disconnect, it swaps the old one back in.

However this does seem to be a move operation, not a copy/delete. I last
rebooted the machine on June 20th. Since then I have started/stopped the
VPN several times but the timestamp on resolv.conf.vpnbackup is still
June 20th. So it might not be the cause of the unlinkification.
