It's been reported by users on IRC that network-manager in some cases spawns a dnsmasq process that doesn't listen on anything.
This only happens at boot time and disappears after reconnecting.

The problem was tracked down to network-manager.conf triggering before the loopback interface is ready.

Adding "and static-network-up" to the start condition ensures that /etc/network/interfaces was parsed and all interfaces in there have been ifup'ed, fixing the race.
