Title:
  [SRU] dnsmasq doesn't start on boot because its interface isn't up yet

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Confirmed
Status in dnsmasq package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in dnsmasq source package in Xenial:
  Won't Fix
Status in dnsmasq source package in Bionic:
  Confirmed
Status in dnsmasq package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  dnsmasq will fail to respond on network devices that weren't up when its
  service started, thus not binding as expected.

  [Test Case]
  TBD

  [Regression Potential]
  The fix is just configuring the order of service startup, so is unlikely to create any regressions.  Things to watch would be service related misbehaviors and general availability of the dnsmasq functionality.

  [Fix]
  Straightforward packaging fix to the service to make it delay startup
  until after the network is online.

  [Discussion]

  [Original Report]
  My dnsmasq instance uses "interface=br-vz0" and the interface br-vz0 is managed manually in /etc/network/interfaces.

  During boot, dnsmasq is started before br-vz0 is created and this
  causes dnsmasq to exit:
