Comment # 9 on bug 1131075 from Matwey Kornilov

Now I use

resolv-file=/var/run/netconfig/resolv.conf

in dnsmasq config to overcome symlink resolution.

dnsmasq still fails at the startup.

Apr 01 19:09:41 localhost dnsmasq[999]: dnsmasq: syntax check OK.
Apr 01 19:09:41 localhost dnsmasq[1005]: dnsmasq: directory
/var/run/netconfig/resolv.conf for resolv-file is missing, cannot poll
