Bug Description
resolvconf is not started at boot, the init.d script is only run when booting to single user mode. This becomes a problem when /var/run is a tmpfs filesystem, since /var/run/resolvconf is created by the init.d start script. If this dir is missing then my network doesn't come up properly. See this interfaces file config:

I think you have slightly misdiagnosed the problem. /etc/rcS.d/* are run in all runlevels, not just single user mode. (Single user mode runs /etc/rcS.d/* and /etc/rc1.d/*; multiuser mode runs /etc/rcS.d/* and /etc/rc2.d/*.)
However, you seem to have the same symptoms as bug 448095, which is caused because resolvconf starts after ifupdown. I will mark this as a duplicate for now.
