Bug Description

The lxc package installs dnsmasq configuration as /etc/dnsmasq.d-available/lxc, and a symlink to it is created at /etc/dnsmasq.d/lxc, but neither has any effect on the main dnsmasq instance on systems running NetworkManager, because NetworkManager starts a dnsmasq instance that looks in /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d instead.

This means that when someone adds server=/lxc/10.0.3.1 to lxc's dnsmasq config file, it doesn't work. I imagine it also leads to other configurations not working as expected.
