Bug Description
Binary package hint: dnsmasq
Looking at the /etc/init.d/dnsmasq file I see a bug; in the start() function it says:
This is wrong; the variable names should both be the same. Assuming the right variable name is DNSMASQ_INTERFACES (plural) for example this should be:
~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 10.10

To Ubuntu triagers: This is a real bug, but it only affects code which dnsmasq. The
provides compatibility with very old (pre-Ubuntu) Debian installations
which might have interface configuration in /etc/default/
accepted place for such configuration has always been /etc/dnsmasq.conf
during the entire life of Ubuntu, so this is very unlikely to bite on
any Ubuntu installation. I'll fix it in the next Debian package.
Cheers,
Simon.
