This is OK, the names after /etc/dnsmasq.d are file suffices which
should be ignored when scanning the directory. dpkg can create backup
files there with these suffices under some circumstances and it would be
bad if dnsmasq read them as configuration.

 --conf-dir=<directory>[,<file-extension>......]
       Read  all  the  files  in  the  given directory as configuration
       files. If extension(s) are given, any files which end  in  those
       extensions  are skipped. Any files whose names end in ~ or start
       with . or start and end with # are always skipped.
