commenting dns=dnsmasq out in the NetworkManager.conf leaves the /etc/resolv.conf file intact.
I will test this on my other machines. Unfortunately, the upgrade changed this setting to use dnsmasq. It also is set in the default installation. It solves my problem, thanks. It creates another problem: Changing this setting in 20000+ PCs.

Name servers and other information are not utilised. The dhclient.leases file, resolv.conf and nm-dhclient-eth1.conf (I use a WLAN wlan0) show different information about name servers and domain names. Thus settings that rely on any internal server names do not work.
