It absolutely does depend on it as the init script will fail to start if
it's not there.

Note that lxc-net can be turned off by the user and dnsmasq-base doesn't
install any daemon.

Marking this won't fix.

** Changed in: lxc (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix

Title:
  lxc package dependencies over-constrained

Status in lxc package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Obviously lxc does NOT depend on dnsmasq-base and thus this dependency
  should be lowered to "optional" or "recommended".

  Today entities using containers already have proper DNS as well as
  DHCP servers and thus do not need at all another point of
  failure/possible weak software/redundant aka non-green services like
  the dnsmasq stuff.
