Package vpnc does some copying back and forth both files but it may at some point destroy one of them ---> you lose DNS during connection setup. Bug in vpnc, I filled it to them (not Maemo, because at that time they don't have a slot in bugs.maemo.org)
The problem with manually changing resolv.conf is most DHCP software will overwrite that when you connect via DHCP. I don't know specifically what the N900 does or has.. but I'd be wary of that.

I think the real problem isn't the resolv.conf's... but that script file discussed before. I believe that fires off whatever tool or utility that then creates the appropriate resolv.conf file for you.
