Package: dnsmasq Version: 2.62-3+deb7u1 Severity: wishlist Hi,
While configuring dnsmasq today, I stumbled upon a very annoying behavior: dnsmasq doesn't ignore files not ending in ".conf" in its /etc/dnsmasq.d/ configuration directory. I had copied the current config alongside the original file renaming it with ".old" and it took me some time to realize that the error message I got when restarting dnsmasq from now on were because dnsmasq read the two files and found duplicate configuration options. The usual way of handling ".d" configuration directories in Debian (to me, at least) is to only take into account files ending in ".conf", so that you can have “backup” files or easily ignore some config files. The current behavior is a bit disturbing when trying to configure dnsmasq. I realize that dnsmasq has no easy way of achieving this (it can only ignore some patterns, not restrict to some pattern), so this may be difficult to implement, but I'd be glad if someone found a way to “fix” this.
