They are specified in /etc/network/interfaces just as you instructed,
and the dnsmasq-base package is installed. But when dnsmasq is
installed then resolvconf generates an incorrect /etc/resolv.conf. If I
remove the dnsmasq package then resolvconf works properly and generates
the expected contents for /etc/resolv.conf.

This is a new bug with 16.04. It was not present under 14.04, and the
contents of my /etc/network/interfaces file has not changed.
