People who don't know about resolvconf won't be so clever as to remove it as a way of solving a name resolution problem in another package.

In the submitted file, "nameserver 127.0.0.1" correctly refers to the caching nameserver (dnsmasq) listening on that loopback address. If dnsmasq doesn't resolve names --- by forwarding queries (to 192.168.1.1, in the submitter's case) --- then that is a matter to be taken up with the dnsmasq maintainers.
