This will be DHCP doing this -- when you connect to the network,
the DHCP server supplies a search path and a set of nameservers to
use. The DHCP daemon on your machine (dhclient, or dhcpcd are the two
most common ones) then writes a new /etc/resolv.conf file to match,
removing anything else.

If you're using dhcpcd as your DHCP client, then there's entries in
the config file (/etc/dhcpc/config on my machine) which tell it which
components of your network config you will allow it to set up.
Debian also has a package called "resolvconf" which should fix
this, although I've always found it a bit hard to get right.
