I don't think we'll cover this particular use case for Precise. I
understand your requirement and how the need to change the settings in
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf isn't great, but it's a one-time
thing and isn't something we can safely do as part of the install
processes for dnsmasq or bind. Then, for the reasons above other options
aren't available.
There's another possibility to make this easier by making sure Bind
always starts before NetworkManager, but most cases will not actually
see bind and NetworkManager installed on the same system; and fixing
this would require migrating bind from a sysvinit script to a new
upstart job.
I'm keeping the task open as it's absolutely a valid request, we just
won't have time to focus on fixing this for the Precise release. (Sorry)

Title:
Don't start local resolver if a DNS server is installed
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
As described in
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-p-dns-
resolving, network manager now starts a dnsmasq instance for local DNS
resolving.
That breaks the default bind9 and dnsmasq installations, for people that
actually want to install a DNS server.
Having to manually comment out "#dns=dnsmasq" in
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf doesn't sound good, and if it stays
that way, it should be moved to the bind9 and dnsmasq postinst scripts.
Please make network-manager smarter so that it checks if bind9 or
dnsmasq are installed, so that it doesn't start the local resolver in
that case.
