  IMO this is largely Debian-specific: this distro seems to hold backward comaptibility in very high regard, so any problem is bound to have a multitude of solutions. In addition, the Debian Wiki is not as well maintained as you-know-whose.

  I see nothing untoward here.

  Except maybe that last sentence, what “s” are you talking about (fwiw, the man page that comes with an installed package should™ be the ultimate authority)?

  dhcpcd overwrites is. I only have one static address, but DHCP does other stuff too it seems

  If you’re not fond of manipulating config files manually, just use nmcli (from your link):

  You can get an idea of NetworkManager’s settings by running nmcli on the command line.

  It is a bunch simpler. The days of just raw-dogging resolve.conf and nsswitch are long behind us.

  Aren’t these docs an admission that it’s a clusterfuck?

  The Debian wiki admittedly needs work, but it is a wiki, so make an account and update what you think is lacking or unclear.

    These are server VMs. I gave up and did chattr +i and it does what I tell it to now.

      From my /etc/resolv.conf on Debian trixie, which isn’t using openresolv:

      # Third party programs should typically not access this file directly, but only
      # through the symlink at /etc/resolv.conf. To manage man:resolv.conf(5) in a
      # different way, replace this symlink by a static file or a different symlink.
      

      I mean, if you want to just write a static resolv.conf, I don’t think that you normally need to have it flagged immutable. You just put the text file you want in place of the symlink.

  Interface configuration and DNS resolution are managed by different systems. Their file structures are different.
