Package: dnsmasq
Severity: normal

It would be good if dnsmasq wasn't stopped at the beginning of an
upgrade and started after the upgrade -- it'd be much better to postpone
to stop,start (or restart) until the upgrade has completed.

The problem
with the existing behaviour is that I'm left without a DNS server while
upgrading, and in theory any package that does a wget during
installation (for example flashplugin-nonfree, IIRC) could fail.
Restarting after upgrade would lead to a minimum of downtime during
upgrade.

For reference, a similar change was made to the bpalogin package as
described in bug #316466.

Cheers,
-Ted
