I am sorry but all I can say is that on a DSL connection, behind a
router, with fixed IPs and DNS servers : my computers don't need this
software (Xubuntu had it, but Kubuntu didn't).

The description says that if you are using DHCP (be it dialup or a
direct connection), you need this package for DNS resolution.

You can test whether this package is essential without removing it. You simply 
need to prevent the execution of the service :
sudo chmod -x /etc/init.d/resolvconf

If after reboot you lost your connection then restore it :
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/resolvconf

In case it doesn't work, try disabling the program itself :
sudo chmod -x /sbin/resolvconf

My knowledge in this is essentially empirical so : it should work (tm)
