In comment #110 MTL said that backporting the fix to Precise *is* planned.

Quantal includes dnsmasq 2.63 which has the new "bind-dynamic" option. In bind-dynamic mode dnsmasq works as it does in bind-interfaces mode but also updates its list of listen addresses whenever network interfaces are configured and deconfigured. It appears to work well. In bind-dynamic mode, as in bind-interfaces mode, standalone dnsmasq is compatible with NM-dnsmasq listening at 127.0.1.1. I would suggest therefore that if the switch from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.1.1 for NM-dnsmasq is backported to Precise then dnsmasq 2.63 should simultaneously be backported to Precise and dnsmasq should be forced into bind-dynamic mode rather than into bind-interfaces mode.
