Ironically the problem was the opposite: the Provides: line in
/etc/init.d/openvpn said openvpn, but I had added a dependency on "vpn" to
the Required-Start line in /etc/init.d/dnsmasq. Once I changed this to
"openvpn", it worked. 

But my main concern is: should the user have to add that dependency manually
to make dnsmasq and openvpn work together? Isn't there a way that the
package configuration can do this automatically?
