You are quite right, using dhcp-script with the attached script is sufficient and the resulting information is more useful. However, what I liked with using a patch was: a/ it builds upon your existing uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq DBUS interface and works "out of the box" b/ it doesn't hog the dhcp-script option. To my knowledge you can only have a single dhcp-script option or am I mistaken? Would you consider a patch if it was rewritten so that it's triggered in the same codepath as the dhcp-script handling? If you don't think it's appropriate, feel free to close this bug.
