[Bug 959037] Re: NM-controlled dnsmasq prevents other DNS servers from starting

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

Yes, it is. I'll provide a package with a bunch of related changes from
Quantal; namely:

- using dbus instead of a config file;
- using a different dbus name than the default for dnsmasq;
- restarting dnsmasq less often (fixed in using dbus, basically)
- avoid refreshing interface config on every route cache entry notification;

etc.

dnsmasq will still need to be updated to ship the dbus file in dnsmasq-
base isntead of dnsmasq, and the biggest, most time-consuming issue is
that the dbus name changing patch needs to be adapted to apply to
Precise's dnsmasq.
