ubuntu-vm-builder kvm doesn't set nameserver in resolv.conf

[Christoph Dwertmann]

I'm setting up a VM in oneiric like this:

ubuntu-vm-builder kvm oneiric \
 --arch i386 \
 --hostname vm1 \
 --mem 512 \
 --rootsize 20000 \
 --ip 10.0.0.1 \
 --mask 255.0.0.0 \
 --net 10.0.0.0 \
 --bcast 10.255.255.255 \
 --gw 10.0.0.200 \
 --dns 10.0.0.200 \
 --bridge br0 \
 --mirror http://10.0.0.200:9999/ubuntu \
 --variant minbase \
 --addpkg openssh-server \
 --addpkg sudo \
 --addpkg vim \
 --addpkg inetutils-ping \
 --addpkg gpgv \
 --addpkg host \
 --addpkg subversion \
 --addpkg mc \
 --addpkg wget \
 --addpkg bzip2 \
 --addpkg devscripts \
 --addpkg build-essential \
 --addpkg git \
 --addpkg automake \
 --addpkg colordiff \
 --addpkg net-tools \
 --libvirt qemu:///system

After entering the newly created VM, my /etc/resolv.conf is missing the nameserver. This was working in previous Ubuntu releases.
