I don't remember having installed or setup the standalone dnsmasq daemon in the past. The dnsmasq package isn't installed (dnsmasq-base and dnsmasq-utils are though), yet it does appear that /etc/init.d/dnsmasq exists and does register 127.0.0.1 with resolvconf.

In /etc/default/dnsmasq it has ENABLED=1. Will changing this to ENABLED=0 disable the standalone dnsmasq and prevent it from registering 127.0.0.1 in the future? Or should I change it in /etc/init.d/dnsmasq instead? Or is there a better way to make sure it's disabled?
