Any suggestions? I do like the idea of having any static nameserver
information in the /etc/network/interfaces file with the rest of
the network config, so resolvconf would be good if it worked as

If I understood correctly what you want you need this is
/etc/network/interfaces:

dns-nameserver 123.234.123.234

More info in /usr/share/doc/resolvconf/README.gz section 3.4

Not quite. I only want the static information in the interfaces file.
I still want the nameserver address that is supplied by DHCP to be
used.

I do know how to hardwire a nameserver and IP address if I am not
using DHCP, but resolvconf is not really so necessary in that
situation.
