I am not sure if this is a documentation bug or a resolvconf bug, but the actual effect of the name_servers option is different than documented:

man resolvconf.conf says:

name_servers
Prepend name servers to the dynamically generated list.

What actually happens:

Content of name_servers completely replaces the nameserver list. Before uncommenting the name_servers=127.0.0.1 line in /etc/resolvconf.conf the generated /etc/resolv.conf contains dynamically generated entries. After uncommenting said line, /etc/resolv.conf contains *only* nameserver 127.0.0.1

Additional info:
* openresolv 3.5.6-1
