Hi Robie,

while this also happens in Debian, the use case is more common in Ubuntu, because NetworkManager is patched to use a spawned dnsmasq instance as a local resolver, and mixing the two DNS servers is problematic (neither bind-dynamic nor bind-interfaces work very well).
In Debian they more frequently use the normal dnsmasq/DNS service as it was designed, because NM doesn't spawn a local resolver there.

For upstream report, Simon (the upstream dnsmasq developer and Debian maintainer) already answered here, Simon would you like me to file a debian bug as well? It's easy to work around this issue, so we can even close it with won't fix if you prefer.

Thank you.
